2023: Former Minister Vows to Unseat Bauchi Gov Segun Awofadeji in Bauchi The immediate past Wazirin Bauchi and former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in the second republic, Alhaji Mu
The immediate past Wazirin Bauchi and former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in the second republic, Alhaji Muhammadu Bello Kirfi, has vowed to ensure that Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed is defeated in 2023 gubernatorial election in the state.
According to the elder statesman in an interview with journalists in Bauchi yesterday, “I was instrumental in bringing him to power in 2019. I did all I could to see that he emerged victorious against a government that enjoys federal might at that time.”He lamented that nearly four years into the first tenure of the governor, salient issues direct to people of the state remain unattended to despite repeated promises.
“When I was first confronted to serve as Wazirin Bauchi, I refused because I cannot jettison my political life and businesses for the meagre salary of the office of Waziri which cannot cater for the daily spending of my family at that time. The Bauchi Emirate Council in a letter signed by the Council Secretary, Alhaji Shehu Mudi Muhammad and dated 3rd January 2023, removed Kirfi from being Wazirin Bauchi and a member of the Bauchi Emirate Council forthwith.
“In view of the above, you are hereby removed from office as Wazirin Bauchi and also as a council member of Bauchi Emirate. I wish you the best in all your future endeavours,” the letter read in parts.
