A board member of the Bauchi State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Mr. Tijjani Jalla, has reportedly been dismissed because of his association with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon Yakubu Dogara.
The story of his dismissal was made known yesterday by Turaki Hassan, the Media Aide to Dogara.
According to Hassan, in a letter marked BA/SUBEB/S/GEN/212/T.VII, which was signed by Yakubu Mijinyawa on behalf of the SUBEB Executive Chairman, Prof Yahaya Yero, the dismissed board member was accused of sabotaging the state government by his active participation in opposition politics and association with the Speaker.
Part of the dismissal letter as shared by Hassan on his Facebook page reads: “I am directed to inform you (Tijjani Jalla) that you have been dismissed from service due to your participation in opposition politics, more especially by your association with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.”
It would be recalled that Dogara emerged Speaker of the Green Chamber against the wishes of the then national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in 2015. He has also been at political loggerhead with the Bauchi state governor, Mohammed Abubakar of APC.
In recent times, Dogara has been tipped to dump the ruling party for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in a fashion similar to that of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
