PURPOSE OF THE MEETING:
The main purpose of this meeting was to appraise and gather the views of the people of Gamawa Federal Constituency over the recent heinous act of attempted sexual harassment, that the honourable representative of the constituency allegedly engaged in.
ATTENDANCE:
Among those who attended the meeting were, the representative of the Students' Unions, Youth Organisations, Community Based Organisations, Non-Governmental Organisations, Other General Members of the Association and many among others.
COMMENCEMENT OF THE MEETING:
After the opening prayer, the meeting was chaired by the Chairman of the Association, in person of Comrade Kassim Abubakar Gamawa, which lasted for more than two hours.
In his opening remarks, after welcoming the members he went further revealing the purpose of the gathering. The chairman started by lamenting the defamatory incident which has recently happened and become rife and controversial all over the country. Unfortunately to our greatest dismay, our honourable member house of representative (Hon. Mohammed Garba Gololo) of Gamawa Federal Constituency happens to be guilty among the suspects. It has recently been reported by the popular and reliable British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Hausa Service) on Thursday and Friday morning that US embassy in Nigeria has sent a list of three representatives from Nigeria; Mohammed Garba Gololo (APC - Bauchi), Samuel Ikon (PDP - Akwa-Ibom) and Mark Gbilla (APC - Benue), through its Ambassador, Mr. James Entwistel that the above mentioned members were found guilty of committing an illicit misconduct of attempted sexual harassment, whereby Garba Gololo was even accused of attempting to hug a housekeeper in the Hotel who was officially sent to his room to clean and sweep it for his comfort.
REACTION OF THE MEMBERS:
After the chairman reached to his last sentence, many members who were in the attendance reacted grievously. Among those who reacted were; Malam Sabi'u Maimanja Gamawa, representing Muryar Talaka, Bauchi state chapter, he suggested that an enquiry letter should be written and sent him and his party to publicly clear and vindicate himself innocent. And his motion was seconded by some members.
Another member who reacted was the representative of the Students' Union Government, Comrade Abdulhakeem B. Yareema, he also suggested that the suspect should be invited to come down to his constituency, response some questions and profess himself innocent thereby distance himself from the allegation. And this motion was also seconded by some members.
However, in their individual reactions; Yakubu Arabbi, Muhd Muhd, Kabiru Muhd, Mohd M. Baba, Abubakar Shehu, Auwal Umar, Darras M. Juji Musa Muhd and et al have shared the same views with Malam Sabi'u Maimanja and Comrade Abdulhakeem B. Yareema, that the suspect must come out publicly with the proven evidence to vindicate himself, otherwise a legal action would be taken against him.
RESOLUTIONS:
After several suggestions by the members of the organisation, at the end the following stands were unanimously agreed by everybody in the attendance:-
1. The suspect/member must come to his constituency On 25th June, 2016 to defend himself against the allegation.
2. The member must come by himself and any representative of the suspect will not be tolerated.
3. Failure to respect and or answer the Association's invitation and demand, otherwise legal action will be taken against him.
CONCLUSION:
The chairman of the Association in his closing remarks has stated vividly that, the Association is non-partisan, neither sponsored by anybody nor does it working against or in support of the suspect. But rather it concern is to taste and confirm the actual veracity of the allegation filed against it representative.
However, if this allegation happens to be a lie, the Association will stand for his right and condemn America for it malicious attempt of defamation of character. But when the veracity of the allegation turns to be true with some proven evidence, then a legal action will be taken against the suspect for tarnishing the good imagine of our noble constituency.
In addition, the Association has passed a vote of no confidence to its entirely constituency and district representatives for their poor and misrepresentation and finally the Association has called them to change their leadership style or else to face the legal actions from the masses. The representatives are as follows:-
- Hon. Salihu Ajilanga, member representing Gamawa constituency, Bauchi State House of Assembly,
- Hon. Umar Yakubu, member representing Udubo Constituency, Bauchi State House of Assembly,
- Hon. Mohammed Garba Gololo, member representing Gamawa, Federal House of Representatives.
