Bauchi Governor against Due Process

February 24, 2009
Sir: When one was voting for Isa Yagudu, one thought he was a tested and sincere hand.  We have all seen how he awarded some road contracts without due process. The State House of Assembly beamed their search light on this regarding this. One would not know how that was eventually settled.

There are many other projects whose due process was not at all followed or where they were pretended to be followed was at the end thwarted by the Governor himself.  There is one case in view, whereby he awarded Government Printing Press contract to a friend of his in Kaduna and who did not partake in the bidding exercise. Where was the man’s part in the due process which preceded this particular project? Government officials are worried about this situation but at the same time are handicapped.


I think the House should intensify search for all the areas he has so wielded his powers unnecessarily.  Marrying the President’s daughter or trying to go back to PDP should not save him. It is a bad precedent. Most of his political associates are complaining of this man who once knelt down for their support; now he has gotten to the power, he feels he is the alpha and omega. But that is not one is saying here; one is concerned about the governor’s disrespect for due process. With this type of revelation, I feel his tenure as a federal Minister should be probed retrospectively.
