Bauchi Emirate Sacks Senator From Traditional Role For ‘Insulting’ Gov Mohammed
The Bauchi Emirate Council has withdrawn the traditional title of ‘Majidadin Bauchi’ from Senator Shehu Buba Umar for allegedly disrespecting and humiliating the governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed.
Senator Umar represents Bauchi South senatorial district in the National Assembly on the platform of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).
A letter dated August 14, 2024 and addressed to Senator Umar signed by one Nasiru Musa on behalf of the Emirate Council secretary, said the withdrawal of the traditional title from the federal lawmaker followed a meeting of the council on Wednesday, which deliberated on the Senator’s alleged misdemeanours and consequently resolved to derobe him as a traditional title holder of the emirate.
The Council specifically accused Senator Umar of disrespecting and humiliating the Bauchi State governor, actions it said were at variance with the teachings and culture of Bauchi Emirate Council.
It could be recalled that the Bauchi South Senator had in a chat with journalists the previous week accused Governor Bala Mohammed of short-changing the people of Bauchi State as regards some palliative items sent to the state by the APC-led federal government.
The Senator enumerated some palliatives such as rice, corn and fertilizer sent to the state by the federal government for the onward distribution to the people of the State to cushion the effects of economic hardship, alleging that the items were sold out by the state government.
