Leadership crisis has engulfed Bauchi State House of Assembly with the emergence of two Speakers following the inauguration of the 9th Assembly on Thursday. Our Correspondent who witnessed the drama discovered that as early as 6am, the 8 members of the PDP and three others from the APC and NNPP stormed the House, locked out the remaining APC members-elect gaining entrance into the Chambers and held the inaugural sitting during which the two principal officers were elected. When the remaining APC members-elect got to the Assembly complex they were prevented from gaining access in to the chambers and decided to hold their own inaugural sitting outside in the open. Armed Security personnel have taken over the Assembly as at the time of filing this report. The aggrieved APC members will address the press later
