Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike bitterly exchanged words on Thursday, over the arraignment of Bauchi state finance commissioner, Yakubu Adamu, on terrorism financing charges by the EFCC.
The conflict escalated after the EFCC alleged that Bauchi officials funneled $2.3 million states funds to Bello Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah, to finance terrorist groups.
Wike mocked the governor, telling him to use his superpowers to solve his own problems, while the state Governor in response, described Wike as a terrorist and an undertaker within the PDP.
Wike is an undertaker in our party… You cannot be in two places at the same time, it’s against the rule of nature – Governor Bala Mohammed
Mohammed alleged that Wike is controlling institutions and influencing the EFCC to criminalize his administration for refusing to defect to the APC.
Wike dismissed the claims as a blame game by Governor Mohammed due to his inability to produce a successor in Bauchi over poor leadership.
