The Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Hon. Abubakar Suleiman, has come in for heavy criticism after he made a post on his Facebook page where he alluded that the state governor, Bala Mohammed is his godfather and that under his leadership, the House will do anything the governor says.
Suleiman got into trouble when he took to his verified Facebook page to post a picture of Governor Mohammed along words that expressed his unalloyed loyalty and total submission to the governor.
Writing in the Hausa language, Suleiman had said:
“This is my godfather, my leader and my direction. Whatever you say, that’s what we would do alongside my supporters. God willing.”
