Dogara, who influenced Sadiq’s political career, had recently dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former speaker also accused the state governor of misconduct and unfulfilled promises to the people.

In 2019, Nura Manu Soro, former commissioner for finance in Bauchi, resigned his appointment after three months in office.
