It would be recalled that the Speaker was elected under contentious circumstances during the leadership crisis that engulfed the Bauchi State House of Assembly in 2019 after 11 members out of 31 lawmakers elected Hon Suleiman as Speaker and this led to the emergence of a factional Speaker.
The APC dominated the House from the start, with 21 members, while eight from the PDP, and one from the NNPP.
With the Speaker’s defection, the APC currently has 16 members and the PDP has 15.
