PDP Crisis: Governor Bala Blasts Wike, Sparks New War
- Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed has lambasted the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over his recent media chat, where he was accused of denigrating the PDP
- In a statement, Governor Bala maintained that the PDP gave the platform for Wike to rise to stardom in politics but allowed himself to be used against them
- The governor, who also doubled as the chairman of the PDP governors' forum, alleged that Wike thrived on drama and divisiveness despite his status
Bauchi, Bauchi - Bala Mohammed, the Bauchi state governor, has criticised Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister Nyesom Wike over his recent comments.
During a chat with the media recently, Wike took a swipe at the governor and chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Muhktar Gidado, Governor Bala's special adviser, said in a statement on Thursday, January 23, that the FCT minister survives on drama and divisiveness.

Bala says Wike holds 'bombastic media chat'
Vanguard reported that the statement described Wike's recent outing as 'the latest disjointed and bombastic media chat', which caught the attention of Governor Bala, who also chairs the PDP Governor's forum.
Bala maintained that Wike's style had become a predictable diatribe full of grandstanding, contradictions, and perplexing shows of loyalty that are being drifted by the wind. He added that the minister's incoherence usually made it difficult to pick any substantial point.
However, he was compelled to respond to specific remarks to set the record straight. He said this became necessary because the remarks were to undermine PDP, a platform on which Wike rose to stardom.
The statement noted that Wike's political growth was a testament to the opportunities the PDP provided him, yet the minister 'now gleefully undermines' the party that nurtured him.
Why Wike should appreciate PDP - Bala Mohammed
Governor Bala stressed that the minister owed so much to the PDP as the party stood by him in his political journey, but he had now chosen to be used to denigrating the leading opposition.
The statement reads in part:
“His recent media outburst was yet another reminder of his transactional approach to politics, where personal ambition eclipses loyalty, principles, and collective interests.
“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 behaviour and opportunistic alliances expose him as an unreliable and fair-weather friend—traits that alienate even those who once stood by him.”
Governor Mutfwang denies dumping PDP for APC
Legit.ng earlier reported that Plateau state governor Caleb Mutfwang had dismissed the claim once again that he had left the PDP and joined the APC.
The governor said the claims were the work of mischief workers who were seeking to create confusion in the state and cast doubt on his party loyalty.
Governor Caleb then maintained that there had been an ongoing discussion between the PDP in the state and North Central to resolve the internal crisis.
