Bauchi Commissioner Resigns After Dad’s Dethronement

Hajia Sa’adatu Bello Kirfi, the Bauchi Commissioner of Cooperatives and SMEs Development, has resigned.

It comes barely 24 hours after her father, Alhaji Muhammadu Bello Kirfi, was removed as the Wazirin Bauchi.

Her resignation is contained in a January 4 letter to Governor Bala Mohammed through the Secretary to the State Government. 

It reads in part “Your Excellency, I wish to humbly tender my resignation as a member of 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 allowing me to serve my state under your administration.”

The Bauchi Emirate Council had earlier removed Alhaji Kirfi as the Wazirin Bauchi for allegedly “disrespecting” the governor.
