Abubakar’s employed EFCC to stop me from probing him – Bauchi Gov-Elect, Bala Mohammed
“And if the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has discovered some documents which shows that over 2,000 ghost workers have been inputted into the salaries and arrears of Bauchi State in the last four years and over N400bn has come to Bauchi and we cannot see anything that has been done for N5bn, if I don’t do it , then I have abdicated my responsibility,”
Mohammed is due to appear in court today at Court 26 FCT High Court Maitama in Abuja to face charges bordering on false declaration of assets to the EFCC. Governor Abubakar who had initially accepted defeat and congratulated the winner of the Bauchi State gubernatorial elections – immediately following the conclusion of the elections – allegedly turned around and withdrew his congratulatory message and headed to the election tribunal shortly after Bala Mohammed pledged to probe the activities of the Abubakar administration.
“I have been under probe by the EFCC and because I believe in accountability and was influential in the government of President Goodluck Jonathan, I chose not to run away.” The media team, in a statement, said, “already, a Lagos-based newspaper belonging to a notorious APC overlord in Lagos on Sunday published a banner story alleging that the EFCC has filed a new criminal charge against the Governor-Elect at the Federal Capital Territory [FCT] High Court whereas what was pending at the court is an old case for which the prosecution has not been able to convict the immediate past FCT Minister.
“It is the same case in which the judge had earlier ordered them to pay the Governor-Elect N5 million as damage for an infringement on his fundamental human right. He defeated them before and they are merely reviving the case as a tool for blackmail.”
