Bauchi Commissioner, Sa’adatu Bello Kirf Resigns After Father Was Stripped Of Traditional Title

The Commissioner left her job hours after a punitive measure was taken against her father for disrespecting Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed.

The Bauchi State Commissioner of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises Development, Sa’adatu Bello Kirfi, has quitted her job following her father's removal from the Bauchi Emirate Council.

Sa'adatu's decision came hours after her father, a retired federal civil servant, Second Republic Minister, and former Minister of Special Duties, was stripped of his traditional title of Wazirin Bauchi.

The Commissioner's father was ousted from the council over allegations of “disloyalty and disrespect” to the State Governor, Bala Mohammed.

His removal was conveyed in a letter addressed to him by the Secretary of the Bauchi Emirate Council, Alh. Shehu Mudi Muhammad, dated January 3rd, 2023, and titled, “Removal from office as a Council Member and Traditional Title of Wazirin Bauchi.”

This is the second time in five years that the Commissioner's father was being removed from office as a Senior Member of the Bauchi Emirate Council as in March 2017, he was removed from the same position for alleged “disloyal and unruly behavior” during the administration of Governor Mohammed Abubakar.

Meanwhile, one of the Octogenarian's children, Sa'adatu has filed her resignation letter as a Commissioner in Mohammed's government and member of the State Executive Council after the punitive measure against her father.

“Your Excellency, I wish to humbly tender my resignation as a member, Bauchi State Executive Council and Hon. Commissioner Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs Development, Bauchi State with immediate effect.

“I wish to thank His Excellency the Executive Governor for giving me the opportunity to serve my State under your Administration,” she stated in a letter addressed to the governor through the Secretary to the State Government on Wednesday.

Blame the constituency---we have asked for an overhaul, yet a sovereign state is still using what oyinbo wrote to enslave us is still what they use. How did you think the white man depose the Oba of Benin? They set the precedence---governors enjoys it to victimize those people they view as opposition. That woman is not a bastard! Resign and leave the stealing to them. All nah 6ft.

Indeed, traditional rulers must never be  appointed but elected by their people and only the very people themselves  reserves the right to  remove him'/her from office.
