The Ad hoc committee set up by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila to wade into the Bauchi State House of Assembly leadership crisis has arrived the state.
The 12- member committee is headed by Musa Sarkin Adar and is tasked with the responsibility of finding out the circumstances that led to the emergence of two speakers at the state assembly.
Findings by our reporter revealed that the committee was expected to receive memos on the issue today.
A public hearing will later be conducted by the committee at an undisclosed venue in Bauchi tomorrow. Leadership tussle in the Bauchi Assembly came to the fore after controversial dual inauguration on June 20, leading to the emergence of two speakers elected by two groups.
Abubakar Suleiman was elected as the Speaker of the House by 11 lawmakers comprising of eight PDP members, two APC members and a lone NNPP member.
However, the other group comprising 20 lawmakers later convened at the premises of the State House of Assembly and elected the immediate past Speaker of the 8th Assembly, Kawuwa Shehu Damina as their speaker.
The Bauchi State House of Assembly had remained closed since then.
