There was pandemonium on Thursday, June 20, when the security agents fired tear gas to disperse 20 lawmakers elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the election of speaker and deputy speaker at the premises of the Bauchi state House of Assembly. This came after twenty lawmakers who rejected the emergence of Abubakar Suleiman Ningi as speaker of the 9th assembly. The lawmaker later decided to conduct their own inauguration and elected Kawuwa Shehu Damina as speaker and Tukur Ahmed, the member representing Toro constituency as deputy speaker. The session was later disrupted as security agents fired tear gas and dispersed the lawmakers.
