Atiku’s loyalist removed as Wazirin Bauchi over disloyalty to governor
The Bauchi Emirate Council has removed Muhammad Bello Kirfi, a loyalist of the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, as the Wazirin Bauchi.
The Council made this revelation in a letter which was signed by Council Secretary, Shehu Mudi Muhammad and dated January 3, 2023.
The letter reads, “I am directed to refer to a letter received from the Ministry of Local Government Affairs of reference No: MLG/LG/S/72/T dated 30th December 2022.
“The content of the said letter indicated your disloyalty and disrespect to the Executive Governor of the State and the Government.
“It therefore directed for your removal with immediate effort.
“In view of the above, you are hereby removed from office as the Wazirin Bauchi and also a Council Member of Bauchi Emirate”
The Informant247 learned that this would be the second time Kirfi, a former minister of Special Duties would be removed from the position.
A source who spoke as an anonymous has revealed that the Wazirin allegedly had a meeting with the gladiators of the party from the 20 local governments of the state ahead of the forthcoming general election.
He was alleged of persuading attendees of the meeting to support Atiku for president but they should vote for Saddique Abubakar as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
