Further complicating the senator’s situation, questions have emerged about his origins. Recent revelations suggest Buba may not be a native of Bauchi State, as previously claimed, but rather from Barkin Ladi Local Government Area in neighboring Plateau State.
Abuja, Nigeria – Bauchi State’s South Senatorial District has become a hotbed of political tension as Senator Shehu Buba of the All Progressives Congress (APC) faces a recall process amidst serious allegations linking him to banditry and terrorism.
The move has sparked grassroots mobilization, with residents demanding accountability and the senator’s removal.
The controversy intensified following the arrest of Abubakar Idris, a notorious terrorist figure apprehended on August 17, 2024. During his interrogation, Idris reportedly implicated Senator Buba, igniting widespread outrage among constituents. The allegations have driven many registered voters to sign a recall petition, a critical step in the legal process to unseat the senator.
Further complicating the senator’s situation, questions have emerged about his origins. Recent revelations suggest Buba may not be a native of Bauchi State, as previously claimed, but rather from Barkin Ladi Local Government Area in neighboring Plateau State. This has led to accusations of deception.
“We thought he was one of us, but he’s not even a Bauchi indigene,” a local community leader, who requested anonymity, told journalists. The allegation has fueled growing resentment and calls for the senator to address the public.
