Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has accused President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress-led federal government of allegedly using state institutions to target political opponents.
Speaking during a press conference, the governor claimed that agencies such as the courts and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are being deployed against Nigerians who are not aligned with the ruling party.
“The APC-led federal government thinks they can use the court and the EFCC to prosecute Nigerians who are not in their party.
“If they don’t stop, we are prepared to declare a war. I assure you, we will not keep quiet any longer. I will not allow anybody to criminalize me because I refuse to join their party.”
Mohammed reiterated his refusal to defect to the APC, stressing that he would continue to speak out against what he described as an abuse of power.
