The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday stated it is very embarrassing that Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State is not stable.

Wike noted that the words of Mohammed can’t be trusted due to his inconsistency.

He talked during his visit to important locations run by CGC, Arab Contractors, and Gilmor, such as the Airport Road-Kuje junction and major traffic points.

It is very embarrassing. He says one thing today, another thing in the morning, and a different thing in the afternoon. Bala, we are really glad that you told Nigerians who you are—that you are not reliable,” Wike said.

The minister criticized the governor’s request for the party’s National Secretary role, calling it an attempt from “a position of weakness.”

You are already defeated, you have lost. You are speaking with a weak point and want to demand the secretary. That is not done,” he said.

He also said the Bauchi governor was trying to control the party’s activities for his own benefit.

“It is very embarrassing. He said he went to see Mr. President three times. What did he go and see Mr. President for ?

How will someone from another party fix your problem in another party ?” he noted.
