- According to him, their removal is sequel to the findings of an investigative constituted up by the council.
In Bauchi State, the Executive Chairman of Shira local government, Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim Beli and his deputy, Alhaji Usman Adamu, have been removed from office.
The duo were sacked by the Legislative Council of the Local Government Area over allegations of gross misconduct, financial mismanagement and abuse of office.
The newly appointed leader of the council, Alhaji Wali Adamu, announced the development on Monday in Bauchi.
According to him, their removal is sequel to the findings of an investigative constituted up by the council.
Adamu, accompanied by 17 councillors, yesterday submitted the council resolution SLGLC 003, dated February 28, 2025 to the Clerk of the Bauchi State House of Assembly to notify the lawmakers of the development.
However, in a telephone interview, the embattled chairman, Abdullahi Beli, dismissed the allegations, describing them as politically motivated.
“Some stakeholders in the local government are behind this. They fabricated lies and made baseless allegations against me,” he said.
Beli further claimed that he was neither queried nor questioned about his conduct before the removal decision was made.
The Bauchi State government or the State House of Assembly has not issued a statement on the development.
