Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has hit out at Federal Capital Terrritory, FCT, Minister Nyesom Wike, calling him a frustrated politician.
Mohammed was reacting to Wike’s threat to “put fire” in the states of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors for showing solidarity to Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
DAILY POST recalls that the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, PDP-GF, had earlier berated the minister for making the threat.
Reacting to Wike’s threat while receiving members of the PDP National Working Committee in Bauchi on Tuesday, Mohammed described Wike as a frustrated politician.
He also stated that disagreements within the party are never personal and should not be misunderstood.
Dismissing Wike’s threat, the governor assured that Bauchi is strong enough to handle any challenges.
Mohammed downplayed the comments made by his “frustrated” friend, reaffirming their personal relationship and his commitment to leadership.
“When we argue, it’s never personal, and no one should misunderstand that. We are united; this is not a splinter group.
“As you can see, we are united in Bauchi. No one can set Bauchi on fire. Bauchi has enough water to put out any fire. My friend who made that comment is simply frustrated. Perhaps I said something that upset him, but it’s not personal.
“My friend remains my friend, my work is my work, and leadership remains leadership,” he said.
The governor also reiterated the need for party members to unite in order to prevent the collapse of the PDP, which he credited for being responsible for “most of the developments in the country”.
In his remarks, the National Legal Advisor of the PDP, Kamaldeen Ajibade Adeyemi, SAN, reassured the governor of the NWC’s support
“We believe it is important to stand with you and to let you know that whatever steps the Governors’ Forum takes, we, as the National Working Committee, will always be ready to implement them,” he said.
