Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has sharply criticized the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, following a recent media chat in which Wike appeared to target the governor and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement released to OBSERVERS TIMES by his Media Adviser, Muhktar Gidado, Governor Mohammed accused Wike of fostering drama and divisiveness within the party.
“The attention of Sen. Bala Mohammed, the Executive Governor of Bauchi State and Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, has been drawn to the latest disjointed and bombastic media chat by Chief Nyesom Wike, the Honorable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory
“In his characteristic style, Chief Wike launched into his now-predictable tirade, marked by contradictions, grandstanding, and a perplexing display of loyalty that seems to shift with the wind.
“While Wike’s incoherence often makes it difficult to discern any substantive points, Sen. Bala Mohammed finds it necessary to respond to a few specific remarks that distort facts and aim to undermine the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)—the very platform that gave Wike his political rise.
“Chief Wike’s ascendancy in politics is a testament to the opportunities provided by the PDP. Yet, he now gleefully undermines the very foundation that nurtured him,” he said in the statement.
The governor lamented that Wike “who owes so much to a party that stood by him in his political journey has chosen to be a willing tool in its denigration.
“Unlike Wike, who thrives on drama and divisiveness, Sen. Bala Mohammed has always understood that politics is not a game of self-serving theatrics but a platform to serve the public good.
“Wike’s erratic behavior and opportunistic alliances expose him as an unreliable and fair-weather friend—traits that alienate even those who once stood by him.”
