Yakubu Dogara of spreading fake news about the governor.

The Speaker had claimed that Governor Abubakar diverted N400 billion from Bauchi treasury, since 2015 when he was elected.

But Ali Ali said the allegation is baseless. He dismissed it as outright falsehood and rantings of a sinking politician.

Ali said the Speaker’s irresponsible statement might have been
triggered by premonition of his electoral humiliation by the voters of
Bauchi State.

”This is absolute balderdash especially coming from a supposedly enlightened leader.

“The total receipt from FAAC in the preceding three years is no where
close to that outrageous figure . It is regrettable that imminent
electoral loss is making the Speaker lose his mind. Making such
fantastic claims will not save him from the fury of voters in the coming
polls.

“For a lawyer, this ridiculous allegation underscores the quality of
his thoughts and actions as number four citizen. His leadership is
defined by primordial segmentation and sentiments. It is regrettable
that his tunnel vision is impervious to the wider and more cosmopolitan
polish of the office of the Speaker of House of Representatives,” Ali
Ali said.
