Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has responded to the Minister Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Nyesom Wike’s Media chat recently aired on National Televisions.
In a statement issued by the special adviser Media and Publicity to the Governor, Mukhtar Gidado said The attention of Bauchi state governor and the chairman PDP Governors Forum Bala Mohammed, has been drawn to the latest disjointed and bombastic media chat by Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory
The statement said In Wike’s characteristic style launched into his now-predictable tirade, marked by contradictions, grandstanding, and a perplexing display of loyalty that seems to shift with the wind.
It further described Wike as a Transactional Politician Who Bites the fingers That Feeds Him saying that 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. It is disheartening that a man 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.
His recent media outburst was yet another reminder of his transactional approach to politics, where personal ambition eclipses loyalty, principles, and collective interests.
Mukhtar Gidado in the statement said Wike’s assertion that he is not friends with Sen. Bala Mohammed is as irrelevant as it is puerile and that Governance is not built on personal friendships but on competence, vision, and the ability to deliver results. .
“Wike’s attempt to question Sen. Bala Mohammed’s opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s Tax Reform Bills is not only baseless but hypocritical.
While wike accuses others of insincerity, he has seamlessly transitioned from being a self-proclaimed PDP stalwart to an ardent supporter of the APC government who now advocates for the re-election of the same APC administration in 2027, while continuing to claim membership in the PDP”.
The statement therefore revealed that Wike’s tenure as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory has been marked less by governance and more by his weekly spectacle of media insults, Instead of using his platform to unite and inspire but has reduced public service to a theater of absurdity, alienating stakeholders and creating unnecessary tensions.
