Wike reminded how Bala Mohammed saved Nigeria from disintegration in 2010
Bauchi State Governor, Senator Abdulkadir Bala Mohammed played a frontal role in saving Nigeria from disintegration following the inability of them president Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to carry out his constitutional responsibilities due to ill-health
The Special Adviser to to the Bauchi State Governor, Media and Publicity, Hon. Moukhtar Gidado, stated this in an article in reaction to the feud between the Governor and the Minister for the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
Wike, a former governor of River State and Mohammed, the Chairman of PDP Governors Forum, who also served as FCT Minister years ago, are at loggerhead over the leadership of the main opposition party
Moukhtar Gidado wrote- “Let Wike be educated that Sen Bala Mohammed moved the historic ‘Doctrine of Necessity’ in 2010 to save the nation from a looming constitutional crisis and political disaster; and a move that got Wike’s benefactor, former President Jonathan sworn in as an Acting President , the Elder statesman Wike is now busy insulting with no shame.
“When also President Jonathan called Sen Bala Mohammed to serve the nation as an Honourable Minister, he took the right moral step by changing his party status and affiliation from ANPP to PDP to show full, total and unconditional loyalty to the President.
“His conducts are littered by treachery, betrayal and lack of respect to those who have elevated him in life and helped in advancing his social and political career.
“Wike’s betrayal of PDP, his erratic governance style, and his history of treachery make him unfit to criticize a leader of Sen. Bala Mohammed’s caliber. Nigerians deserve better than the theatre of absurdity that Wike represents.
foll“The time for noice making is over ; it is time for governance. Let Wike reflect on his conduct and do the honorable thing: Resign and align fully with the APC he so eagerly serves. Until then his words will remain as hallow as his loyalty.”

Breaking: Court of Appeal rules in favour of Turaki -led PDP candidate for Osun governorship election
The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, on Thursday, ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Gubernatorial Candidate in Osun State was validly nominated by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee.
The court also ordered INEC to list the PDP logo on the ballot ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The Court held that access code is neither a creation of the Constitution nor the Electoral Act; rather, a creation of INEC’s guidelines and cannot, in any way, override the provisions of the Constitution.
Section 288 of the Constitution does not specify the method for nominating candidates; it only states that the names of candidates should be forwarded to the Commission.
The court further held that the defendant (INEC) should take steps to include the name of the appellant on the ballot paper.
Additionally, the court ruled that the primary election conducted by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP was a valid primary election in law.
The three-man panel of justices—Justice Mahmud, Justice Jaro, and Justice Ankawere, was unanimous in its judgment.
