The Bauchi Emirate Council has approved the immediate
removal of the former Minister of Special Duties, Muhammadu Bello Kirfi as its
member for disloyalty and disrespecting the state governor, Bala Mohammed.
The council in a letter signed by its Secretary, Shehu Mudi
Muhammad on Tuesday, also stripped the former minister of the traditional title
of Wazirin Bauchi.
Shehu said, “I’m directed to refer to a letter received from
the Ministry of Local Government Affairs of reference No: MLG/LG/S/72/T dated
December 30th 2022. The content of the said letter indicated your disloyalty
and disrespect to the government and the Executive Governor of the State. It
therefore directed removal with immediate effect (sic).”
“In view of the above, you are hereby removed from office as Wazirin Bauchi and as a Council Member of Bauchi Emirate.”
Recall that Muhammadu was earlier suspended as the Wazirin
Bauchi in 2017 by the Emir of Bauchi, Dr Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu. And reinstated
on the 5th of August 2022 by Governor Mohammed, who presented the reinstatement
letter at Kirfi’s residence in Bauchi.
Kirfi was the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs under
President Shehu Shagari and also the Minister of Special Duties during former
President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.
