Senator Shehu Umar Buba, representing Bauchi South Senatorial District, has been stripped of his traditional title by the Bauchi Emirate Council following his public criticism of Governor Bala Mohammed.
The Senator, who previously held the title of ‘Mandarin Bauchi,’ had accused the governor of corruption and mismanagement during an interview in Bauchi.
Buba, speaking at the ‘Next-level office of the All Progressives Congress’ after the party’s campaign flag-off for the August 17 local government election, stated, “The hardship is caused by the PDP.
“If anyone says it is the policy of the All Progressives Congress, that is very misleading and fictitious. It is fake and not true.”
He claimed that the Bauchi State government under Mohammed had failed to acknowledge and appreciate federal interventions meant to alleviate economic hardship.
“For example, let me tell you about the recent interventions of the 20 trucks of rice that were given to Bauchi State to distribute to the populace in the state. Where are the bags of rice?” Buba questioned.
He further alleged that 70 trucks of guinea corn and 70 trucks of fertilizers provided by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture were sold by the state government instead of being distributed to the people.
“This hardship in Bauchi is caused by the Bala Mohammed-led government. It is a one-man government. I’m repeating it. It’s a government that is very corrupt. Look at all the ministries. Nothing is happening,” he added.
Buba’s allegations against Governor Mohammed were seen as a significant affront by the Bauchi Emirate Council. In response, the Council revoked his traditional title, stating that his behavior was inconsistent with the values upheld by the Emirate.
The decision to strip Buba of his title was conveyed in a letter dated August 14, 2024, and signed by Nasiru Musa on behalf of the Emirate Council’s secretary, following a meeting where the Senator’s conduct was discussed.
The letter with reference number BEC/ADM/20/V.XV and addressed to Sen. Shehu Buba Umar, Bauchi South Senatorial District National Assembly Complex Abuja, is titled ‘Letter of Revocation of the Mujaddadin Bauchi.’
The letter signed by Nasiru Musa on behalf of the Council Secretary, reads, “Greetings, and I hope you are well. Following this, during the Bauchi Emirate Council meeting held today, August 14, 2024, under the leadership of His Royal Highness, the Emir of Bauchi, the Council conducted an in-depth review of the recent incidents of disobedience and disrespect towards the esteemed Governor of Bauchi State, actions that are contrary to the values and customs of the Bauchi Emirate.
“For this reason, the Council has revoked the title of Mujaddadin Bauchi previously bestowed upon you.”
