In a statement issued on Thursday by his Media Adviser, Muhktar Gidado, Governor Bala accused Wike of thriving on controversy and division. He remarked that Wike’s incoherent remarks made it difficult to identify any meaningful points.

Bala also criticized the former Rivers State Governor, who he claims owes much of his political success to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its unwavering support. He suggested that Wike has now chosen to serve as a tool for undermining the party.

The Governor described Wike’s behavior as erratic and his political alliances opportunistic, portraying him as an unreliable and fair-weather friend.

The statement read: “Sen. Bala Mohammed, the Executive Governor of Bauchi State and Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, has noted the latest disjointed and over-the-top media chat by Chief Nyesom Wike, the Honorable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.

“In his usual style, Chief Wike launched into his predictable tirade, filled with contradictions, grandstanding, and a troubling display of loyalty that shifts with the political winds.

“While Wike’s incoherence makes it challenging to extract any substantial points, Sen. Bala Mohammed finds it important to address a few specific remarks that distort facts and seek to undermine the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)—the very platform that helped launch Wike’s political career.

“Wike’s rise in politics is a result of the opportunities the PDP provided, yet he now seeks to undermine the same party that supported him.

“Wike, who owes much of his success to the PDP, has chosen to be a willing instrument in its denigration. His recent outburst serves as yet another reminder of his transactional approach to politics, where personal ambition overshadows loyalty, principles, and the collective good.
