It is with heavy heart and as a matter of responsibility that the Northern Agenda for Good Governance and other affiliated groups has again challenged the decision by Bauchi emirate council on the recent withdrawal of title of senator Shehu Umar Buba as Mujaddadin Bauchi says is necessitated by politics
The National Deputy Coordinator Hashimu Pali repeatably maintained that as you are aware, the Northern
Agenda for good governance is one of the civil society organizations that operate independent and collaborate with other like mind groups to be constantly engaging government and other relevant stakeholders as pressure groups towards ensuring the independence of our traditional institutions in the Northern part of the country.
We noted that the recent decision took by the Bauchi Emirate council on the
removal of Sen. Shehu Buba as Mujaddadin Bauchi the 1st was allegedly influenced and Motivated by political feud between the sitting Governor and the Sen. Shehu Umar Buba representing Bauchi South Senatorial district.
However, the group says this development as a grave disservice to the revered traditional institution,
because custodians of the nation's sacred values and cultural authorities ought and must remain objective; politically neutral and live above board since all political actors from diverse political platforms and also your subject.
They lamented that, the move is a. bad precedence that the Governor wants to leave behind for victimizing political opponents using our traditional institution can not only
continue to rubbish the public image of the institution in the eyes of members of the the publics
Meanwhile, "they maintained they are civilized people but will also be responsible for the heightening of social discord and the constant heating up of the polity which leads to exacerbation of civil strife some victims of this nonchalant attitude.
Rt.Hon. Yakubu Dogara as Jakkadan Bauchi, Hon. Yakubu Shehu Abdullahi as Wakilin Birnin Bauchi as well as our father Alh. Muhammad Bello Kirfi as Wazirin of Bauchi.
However, the emirate ought to be promoter of peace and harmony among it subjects in the society rather than allowing themselves and their offices to be used as a unit in politics.
Traditional rulers should remain neutral and serve as a role model for all,
we strongly believe that Bauchi emirate council ought not to allow it hard earned glory to be lost in the eyes of the publics
