Bauchi State House of Assembly elected a new speaker and deputy, after the removal of the former speaker, Abubakar Suleiman, and his deputy, Jamilu Barade, by the Court of Appeal.
The members of the State House of Assembly on Wednesday, November 29, 2023, elected the new speaker and his deputy, in replacement of Suleiman and Barade who were both sacked by the appellate courts, over electoral matters.
