Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has berated Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed for making a sudden u-turn on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Dogara claimed that after allegedly rigging his way into office, Mohammed sought Tinubu’s help to avoid legal trouble while singing the President’s praises at the time.

Dogara, however, said just months later, the governor has now labelled Tinubu as “inept, incompetent, and incapable of running Nigeria.”

DAILY POST recalls that Governor Bala Mohammed had criticised the President’s policies in the wake of the #EndBadGovernance protest.

Mohammed had berated the Tinubu-led istration saying its policies were inflicting hardship on the people.

Mohammed who doubles as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors Forum, the main opposition party in the country, also urged President Tinubu to change his policies adding that it may jeopardise his reelection come 2027.

But reacting to the governor’s outburst in a press release titled “On Governor Bala Mohammed’s Latest Tirade and Truculent Buffoonery,” the former Speaker stated that the Governor’s recent utterances were uncalled for and unnecessary.

His words, “To buttress the point being made, when Gov. Bala Mohammed was in court after rigging himself into office and desperately needed PBAT to save him, he was busy singing his praises to the highest heavens and telling the world how amazing PBAT was, not even minding the fact that he is the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum,” he added.

Yakubu Dogara added, “Just months after PBAT saved him, he has turned around to describe the President as ‘now inept, incompetent, and incapable of running Nigeria.’ I will even invite him to chair our 2027 presidential campaigns if he continues this way.”

He stated further, “No doubt, these are trying moments in Nigeria, with lots of nerves in the air and lots of spitting into the political wind. The job of leaders, irrespective of the political tribe they belong to, is to ensure that we bring this crisis to a responsible end by appealing to governments at all levels to scramble to meet some of the legitimate demands of the protesters, most especially hunger and pervasive insecurity in the national interest.”

Yakubu Dogara stressed that “it is certainly not a time to engage in blowing all the dog whistles at once in the irresponsible manner Gov. Bala Mohammed did.”

The former Speaker said, “For me, it didn’t come as a surprise because I had long ago, both in writing and on live TV, denounced him as a thug who speaks in the manner of thugs and understands only the language of thuggery.”

“I am penning these lines to further disavow him and to tell those who don’t know that although Gov. Bala Mohammed is one of us, he is not all of us. Bauchi State is home to tested leaders who were not raised like mushrooms and who will not dare speak or operate in a manner that reveals contempt for rules, precedent, order, stability, and national cohesion. But Gov. Bala Mohammed does not only do so; he thrives in it,” he added.

According to him, “Not long ago, I said of him, ‘any time the Governor speaks either by himself or through his aides, it is always an outburst of profanity which debases and demeans all of us.’”

“A leader is supposed to nurture and inspire the people he leads into positive action as opposed to indulging in wanton self-adulation and praise.”

Speaking on the governor’s competency, Dogara claimed Bala Mohammed had governed Bauchi State for a little over six years with no functional social amenities.

He said Bauchi under the governor is one of the states with the highest number of out-of-school children in Nigeria, adding that he has built no functional schools.

“Just one example: my Alma Mater, the famous Bauchi Teachers College, located right under his nose, now lies in ruins. Let him tell the world which of the hospitals in the state is fully functional and how many doctors he has employed. The list is endless.”

“Yet, amid the destitution and squalor that Bauchi State found itself under his watch, he has built the biggest government house for himself and his family and the best family house in Northern Nigeria, if not in the whole country,” he added.

“As it is, we wait to see whether the ‘Kaura 2027’ his cult followers printed on their gowns will be a POLITICAL scandal or an execution DATE.”

Yakubu Dogara keep shut, so Gov Bala should not say the truth to Thiefnibu...

Don't allow us to open your file....may thun-der fire you there...the masses are suffering...

To those that came out to protest for Endbadgovernment 2024.....I dedicate this first to comment to you guys....

As for Dogara....for ing evil, evil will come after you....nobody should quote me....

Tinubu will use hunger as a weapon to deal with Nigerians.

The next three years will be hell.

Mark my words.

What Tinubu's Zombies fail to realize is that ''LIES DON'T FIX THINGS'' and they don't make things easier. Saying things the way they are is a revolutionary act. The hardship is becoming unbearable, majority of the masses have been thrown into abject poverty because of Tinubu's bad policies and rash decisions.

According to Thomas Sowel, "When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear"

Bala Mohammed is only trying to help Tinubu by telling him the Truth. I don't think he meant any harm. Yakubu Dogara is the only Deceiver I see here.

Saved from court as how? Tinubu doesn't interfere in Judicial processes. Lets get this clear.

BAT is a Democrat through and through. Don't soil his name.

And to betrayal, Jagaban has fought through betrayals since 1992.

Guess what, he becomes bigger after each one of them. Your ability to rise after Political betrayals is what makes you a conqueror.

Bala Mohammed na very tiny fry on the path of the great Asiwaju. He too small.

Another distraction.....mr dogara the issue now is not what gov bala mohammed said but how those in authority will end bad governance!

But he is right

Birds of same feathers .

It's OK what next?

Birds of same feather 😅

No paddy in politics

The drug lord who's said to be a master strategist has been used and dumped. 2027 will be sweet

Smart move

Noted

That's the problem with Nigeria. Why save a criminal? Let justice take its course but instead most politicians "save" their corrupt colleagues with the hope that their colleagues would return the favour. If you keep your hands clean, you wouldn't need any favours from a corrupt politician and your rulings wouldn't be impaired by bias decisions.

How can Tinubu save Bala Muhammad from the court of the law. Imagine this statement, "Just months after PBAT saved him" This is to show you how executive arms of the government controls the judiciary; meaning there is no separation of powers. Even during the military era, the judiciary are well respected. How can the civilian istration be more corrupt than the army? I have never seen a country where corruption is an open ittance and yet the person gets away with it. Once you rig your way in during an election, you tell your opponent to go to court. Because you know that the outcome wouldn't be any different since you've bought your way in already. NIGERIA INDEED IS A CRIME SCENE

Dogara wetin be your own

A political novice like PitObi wouldn't have lasted 1 month in Aso rock if he encountered same onslaught Jagaban is facing.

Someone that retired the likes of Saraki, El-Eufai, Amaechi, Okorocha, Atiku, Dino, OBJ, Ndume, Lawan and other 10,000 + big weight Politicians is the one that has been used and dumped? You no sabi anything.

When he said, there is no cabal in his government, you think say na joke? Cabal when the godfather himself is the President?

See ehn.. Political battles like this is what gives Jagaban hard erection. He fckks all his opponents like they are Russian bitches.

Meanwhile, how far with the Endbadgovernance protests? Una don tire?

These Nigerian politicians will never stop exposing themselves.
So, the president actually interfered with judicial process as usual.

Bsla spoke d truth.

Must u lie to.a useless man because u love him.

In politics,
Only permanent interest,
No other permanent anything.

Just one example:
My Alma Mater, the famous Bauchi Teachers College, located right under his nose, now lies in ruins.
Let him tell the world which of the hospitals in the state is fully functional and how many doctors he has employed.
The list is endless.”

“Yet, amid the destitution and squalor that Bauchi State found itself under his watch, he has built the biggest government house for himself and his family and the best family house in Northern Nigeria, if not in the whole country,” he added.

Wow!
Just imagine!
There was a country!!

Na now they just see incompetent n failure in person, awon ole. All wat we want as person is better governance n that's all. There should be age limit for those competing for any political space.

Foolish politicians

Nothing new bro. Is the trademark of All owmberians. Hypocrisy and demonic betrayal Is their culture. So is not a big deal for him to play the card after all is acceptable to them.

So Tinubu controls court judgment like the judges of the presidential election petition that the Supreme Fraud turned the constitution on its head.

I'm happy Tinubu is failing

As it is, we wait to see whether the ‘Kaura 2027’ his cult followers printed on their gowns will be a POLITICAL scandal or an execution DATE.”

Politicians only fight when an issue is against their agenda and never for the people

Don't worry Dogara, your name will be on the second batch of those to be appointed, thank you

Are they both not n PDP?

Politics is a game of interest!

A dirty game!
