Bala Mohammed Attacks Presidency, See Why

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has reacted to the recent comment directed at him by President Muhammadu Buhari Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.

Recall that Garba Shehu while reacting to the criticism of President Buhari’s endorsement of Osagie Ize-Iyamu, asked the Peoples Democratic Party to sack all its governors under investigation for corruption specifically.

Governor Mohammed in a statement released through his Special Adviser on New Media, Lawal Muazu, said, “politicians who lack the qualities needed as leaders are at it again.”

He said that the statement by the Presidency clearly shows “how corrupt politicians find APC a safe place to flee to after a long time enjoyment of their corrupt practices.”

The Bauchi State Governor further stated that it is obvious that the current administration is favouring the incompetent politicians because of party affiliations.

“Once a person moves from the opposition party to the APC, he becomes a saint and untouchable,” he said.

Mohammed said that Buhari should have put the PDP’s reaction into consideration instead of turning a blind eye in defence of the person in question.

He added that the former National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole has already damaged the image of the APC candidate for the Edo election and “It is a questionable stance to come back shielding a person which yourselves had proven not to be trustworthy.”

“It’s everywhere on cyberspace, in a 10 minutes campaign video, where the then party’s chairman on the campaign ground said that Ize-Iyamu wasn’t able to cast his vote on 14th April 2007, because he was hiding from EFCC,” Mohammed said.

“You either consider the PDP’s comments on your candidate and stop defending an indefensible or tell Nigerians that you were lying in 2016.”
