How Yuguda withdrew N1bn in one day? – Gov Abubakar
Governor Mohammed Abubakar of Bauchi State, yesterday, gave insight on how his predecessor, Mallam Isa Yuguda, allegedly withdrew N1 billion from the state government’s account in one day, accusing him of squandering N2 billion ecological fund.
Abubakar, who spoke during an interface with journalists in Abuja, claimed the ecological fund was allegedly advanced to governors of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, under the administration of former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

While he
said a probe panel he instituted to review the eight-year tenure of his
predecessor would soon submit its report, the governor claimed Yuguda received
so much from the federation account during the oil boom period with nothing to
show for it. He said: “For that reason, it is incumbent to ask questions.
The
EFCC have been knocking at my door, asking questions about the past and so I
cannot keep quiet. “When I took over on May 29, 2015, the state was owing civil
servants four months salaries; a state where civil servants and pensioners were
owed N14.5 billion gratuity; a state where other loans comprising commercial
and contractual liabilities amounted to over N100 billion.”
