It is against this background that we are serving a seven-day warning to them to rescind their latest decision on the issue or we shall mobilise our people to proceed with a recall process against them,\u201d BAYOPA said.<\/p>\n<p>Pali further claimed that the progress of the state was slowed down because of the lingering crisis in the assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir actions are slowing the pace of development of our dear state. We hope that these members will heed our warning and do the right thing, else we will be forced to recall them,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bauchi Assembly of Youths Political Actors (BAYOPA) has threatened to initiate recall process against 17 members of the House of Assembly for rescinding their peace pact following the crisis in the house.
