Emir of Bauchi, Dr Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu, has turbanned the caretaker Chairman of Kirfi Local Government Council, Hon. Abdulqadeer Umar Dewu, as first Wakilin Fulanin Bauchi.
Performing the traditional ceremonial rites in the palace in Bauchi, the emir said his decision to appoint him as Wakilin Fulanin Bauchi is informed by his attested capacity and good relationship with people, especially Fulani communities in the emirate.
The monarch tasked him to serve as peace builder and a strong link between Fulani communities and the emirate so as to ensure unity and understanding among all classes of people in the emirate.
