Governor Bala Mohammed has alleged that the Federal Government is using the EFCC to prosecute him for refusing to defect to the APC. He made the claim at the Bauchi Government House, where he received an ambassadorial award for safety.
Mohammed lamented that one of his commissioners is being detained by the EFCC, saying “As a governor, someone who is the head of the opposition, my commissioner has been kept and will not be released by the EFCC.” He added that his name was mentioned in a court motion, despite his immunity as a governor.
The PDP Governors’ Forum Chairman insisted that no amount of harassment would force him to join the APC, saying “The APC-led federal government thinks they can use the courts and institutions of government, like the EFCC, to persecute and prosecute Nigerians who are not within their own party.”
