The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Senator Bala
Mohammed, has described the Bauchi State Governor,
Isa Yuguda, as an All Progressives Congress' mole in
the Peoples Democratic Party.
Mohammed, who denied being the mastermind of the
attack on President Goodluck Jonathan's convoy in
Bauchi by political thugs on January 22, described
Yuguda's allegation against him as irrational.
The governor had fingered Mohammed as the sponsor
of the attack on the President's convoy during a
campaign in Bauchi, but the minister in a statement by
his special aide on media, Nosike Ogbuenyi, in Abuja
on Monday, stated that Yuguda's allegation was
embarrassing.
He queried the governor's allegiance to the PDP and
wondered when he became the APC spokesman.
Mohammed said, "It is simply irrational for Governor
Yuguda to allege that the minister hired thugs to stone
and embarrass himself (minister) while addressing the
presidential rally in his home state. By this claim,
Yuguda has proven correct the allegation that he has
been hobnobbing with the APC at night and running
with the PDP in daytime.
"By Yuguda's latest embarrassing conduct, he has
successfully exposed his chameleonic character as an
APC mole in the PDP. We call on Isa Yuguda to please
respect himself by leaving Senator Bala Mohammed
alone."
The minister wondered why the governor exonerated
the APC of culpability in the attack on the PDP
presidential campaign team in Bauchi, noting that
Yuguda had not been campaigning for Jonathan in his
state.
"Many Nigerians still remember recent media reports
that Yuguda is the real godfather and sponsor of the
APC governorship candidate in Bauchi State and that
he has not been campaigning for President Jonathan's
re-election in the state. Again, history is there to
expose the governor as an unabashed fifth columnist
in the PDP," Mohammed stated.
He said that he had consistently suffered attacks from
the negative politics in the state for his support for the
President, adding that in 2011, thugs protesting
against Jonathan's victory in the elections, razed down
his two-storey building and almost killed his mother
and other relatives in Bauchi.
The minister stated that his only sin was that he
mobilised lawmakers to invoke the 'Doctrine of
Necessity' to confer powers on the then Vice President
Jonathan to act as President while the late President
Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was away in Saudi Arabia for
Medical Intention
