His “disloyalty and contempt” to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed was cited as the reason for the termination.

However, Sa’adatu, one of Kirfi’s children, resigned as the state Commissioner for Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprise Development and as a member of the Bauchi State Executive Council just hours after his father was ousted.

The expulsion of the octogenarian was communicated in a letter addressed to him by the Secretary of the Bauchi Emirate Council, Alhaji Shehu Muhammad.

The letter, dated January 3, 2023, with reference number BEC/ADM/20/VOL.XV was titled, “Removal from office as a council member and traditional title of Wazirin Bauchi.”

It read, “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 December 30, 2022.

“The content of the said letter indicated your disloyalty and disrespect to the executive governor of the state and the government. It is therefore directed for your removal with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, in a letter addressed to Mohammed, through the Secretary to the State Government, dated January 4, 2023, Kirfi’s daughter disclosed her resignation.

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

Kirfi, a retired federal civil servant, became a Minister of Special Duties during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
