Bala Mohammed, the Governor of Bauchi State, has issued a warning that war could break out in the country if the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government does not cease its use of government institutions to target the opposition.
He made this statement in Bauchi while receiving an award as Safety Ambassador from the Safety Institute of Nigeria.
Mohammed expressed that politics in Nigeria has taken a troubling turn. He mentioned that he was informed that he is being accused of terrorism.
He also expressed concern that his commissioner is being held by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The former FCT minister pointed out that despite having immunity as a governor, his name was still brought up in a court motion.
“God is great. I don’t need to say much. I don’t even have to address the public court, but it’s clear that politics has changed drastically in Nigeria.
“The APC-led Federal Government believes it can manipulate the courts and government institutions, like the EFCC, to target and prosecute Nigerians who are not part of their party. If they don’t put an end to this, we will have no choice but to declare war,” he stated.
