President Buhari promises to intervene in Edo, Bauchi crises

President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to resolve the crises rocking the Bauchi and Edo state legislatures.

The pledge was contained in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, after receiving some aggrieved members of the Bauchi House of Assembly yesterday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The 17 members, who had presented selves for inauguration, backtracked after the meeting.

 Specifically, they had rejected what they described as an imposition of minority over the majority.

But the lawmakers proceeded to form a parallel leadership, but few days ago, they made a U-turn and agreed to be inaugurated.

The factional speaker, Kawuwa Damina, had led the remaining 16 members to take their oaths of office and allegiance, a development that was seen as a move that would tame the crisis in the house.

However, after yesterday’s meeting, Damina told State House correspondents that the APC members had rescinded their decision, adding that they want the right thing to be done.
