BAUCHI DEPUTY SPEAKER UNDER QUESTION MARK ?



The Nigerian constitution (1999) has clearly spelt out the expected roles and functions of every Legislative member at both federal and state level. Among these constitutional roles of legislatures includes,  making the laws, checkmating the activities of both Executives and Judiciary respectively, passing of Bills and signing Bills into law among others.
At both Federal and State levels, the case in not different, and every elected member is expected to represent the interest of his constituency and also provide some empowerment and developmental programmes where necessary. In Bauchi, the case is quite different where most members, especially those serving for the second term, are being accused for diverting constituency projects for their personal gain.

Hon. Saleh A. Dumba, a two term representative of his constituency at Bauchi State House of Assembly and also a Deputy Speaker, is expected to use his vast legislative experiences by providing constituency based projects for the  wellbeing, progress and development of his constituency. But unfortunately, there have been several attempt by his constituents to recall him back on the ground of incompetence and being a bench warmer in the State Assembly for the past seven years.
There have been speculations in his constituency, where the deputy speaker comes from,  by well meaning and patriotic indigenes that the constituency has never produced such a bench warmer since  the minception of the forth republic in 19999.
The Deputy Speaker  is a kind of person who do not listen to any one unless his relatives, he also dont even help those suffered for him during elections campaign talk less of the less privileged ones, that is why his constituents are now ready to bring  him back comes 2015.
In a related development, a group of people led by Mal. Mukhtari G. Adamu (Matawalle) condemned all the allegations leveled against him also commended his effort in all his stay in office, he also called those try to paint him black as mischief makers who didn’t want the state to forge ahead. Finally, Mr. Mukhtar G. Adamu has advised the electorates  to come out in mass and re-elect Deputy Speaker for progress and development of his constituency at large.
