The Bauchi Emirate Council has officially revoked the traditional title of Mujaddadin Bauchi from Senator Shehu Buba Umar.
The decision was communicated through a letter addressed to the senator and dated August 14, 2024.
The letter, signed by the Council Secretary, Nasiru Musa, noted that the decision was reached following a critical meeting of the Emirate Council, presided over by the Emir of Bauchi, Alh. Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu.
The Council said it has reviewed recent happenings that were deemed abusive to the governor by Senator Umar which violated the established norms and traditions of the Bauchi Emirate.
According to the letter, the Council expressed concerns over what it described as disobedience and abuse associated with the senator’s conduct towards the Governor of Bauchi State.
The Council concluded that such behavior was incompatible with the principles upheld by the Emirate, leading to the withdrawal of the title.
The Mujaddadin Bauchi title, which is a symbol of honor and prestige within the system, has been stripped from Senator Umar, effectively severing the traditional bond between him and the Bauchi Emirate.
This development is likely to spark further discussions within the political landscape of Bauchi State, as the fallout from the Council’s decision unfolds.
Senator Shehu Buba Umar, who represents the Bauchi South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, is yet to publicly respond to the Emirate’s decision.
