Wike Says He Won’t Support Bala Mohammed’s 2027 Presidential Bid
On Sunday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, fired back at Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, declaring that he would not allow the governor’s presidential aspirations to take off, calling them “dead on arrival.”
Wike, who has long been a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, emphasized that he wasn’t the first, nor would he be the last, member of an opposition party to serve in the government.
A statement from Wike’s media assistant, Lere Olayinka, added more context to the disagreement. It pointed out that Wike’s appointment as a minister was an excuse for Governor Mohammed’s inability to lead the PDP Governors’ Forum, suggesting that the Bauchi governor’s leadership skills were lacking.
Olayinka also noted that despite his current position, Wike was not the first opposition member to join the ruling party.
The statement questioned the actions of Mohammed, who, according to Wike, had previously defected from the ANPP (All Nigeria Peoples Party) to the PDP after initially being elected as a senator.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
