Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has accused Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, of betrayal.
In a chat with journalists on Wednesday in Abuja, Wike specifically accused Governor Mohammed of betraying the ‘G5 Governors’ prior to the 2023 elections.
This the group is believed to have contributed to Bola Tinubu’s victory in the presidential election.
Narrating what played out, Wike said: “Bala Mohammed was having a problem with Atiku and Co. That day, I was going to commission a lounge at the airport.
When he landed, I said there was no need to come to town when I was coming to the airport. He called me. Ibrahim Adoke, the former Attorney-General, was there.
“He said Atiku would kill him if Atiku wins and that we must support Asiwaju. We organised G5 to pay Bala a visit in Bauchi, not knowing that he was using us to settle with Atiku.
“When we got there, he was happy. The next day, Tambuwal led a team to go and see Bala, and Bala abandoned us.
“That’s why I say before you hold some position, you must be a man of character. That’s why I always talk about character.”
