The Governor of Bauchi State and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s Governors Forum, Bala Mohammed, has described President Bola Tinubu as the symbol of opposition in the country.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television, the former Federal Capital Territory minister wondered how a man like President Tinubu, who has fought for democracy, would allow some individuals in his government to destroy other political parties.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, recently rejected the National Convention conducted in Oyo State and Kabiru Turaki as the PDP National Chairman, heightening the crisis rocking the party.

Governors from the PDP have continued to decamp to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC with the latest being the Governor of Plateau, Caleb Mutfwang, who announced his resignation from the  PDP.

He said, we’re advising the President. Wike is creating a bad face, a bad perception. The international community cannot be deceived by the nefarious activities of Wike who is there as an undertaker to destroy a political party. That is why he is being compensated.

“We meant well for the presidency, we mean well for President Tinubu. He is a symbol of opposition, he rose from Lagos, the lion of Lagos, who brought revolution in Lagos that brought development. Some of us, even in opposition, we respect him.”

In the same interview, Mohammed was asked if he can categorically tell Nigerians that no Bauchi State funds under his watch have been misappropriated or used in funding terrorism, and he added, “No Bauchi funds have been used, to my knowledge to fund terrorism or to pay ransom to anybody.”
