In a significant political development within Bauchi State, the Legislative Council of Shira Local Government has officially removed Chairman Hon. Abdullahi Ibrahim Beli and his Deputy, Hon.

Council Leader Wali Adamu made the announcement at the Bauchi State Legislative Council premises, emphasizing the council’s commitment to upholding accountability and justice within the local administration. In his address to journalists, he underscored the importance of these actions for the integrity of governance in both Shira Local Government and the broader Bauchi State.
In an official press release, the council revealed that a committee had been appointed to investigate allegations against the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

Following their removal, the council declared the offices of the Chairman and Vice Chairman vacant, paving the way for potential reforms aimed at restoring confidence in the local government institutions.
These developments serve as a reminder of the imperative for transparency and accountability in public administration, reinforcing the notion that governance must be both responsible and responsive to the needs of the community it serves.
