The back and forth between the Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda, and the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed, seems to be getting very interesting as the latter has issued a rebuttal.

Yuguda initially alleged the thugs which attacked the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan, were sponsored and commissioned by the FCT Minister.

Mohammed has, however, responded to Yuguda, whom he described as a mole of the opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC), working in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He denied orchestrating the attack on the President’s convoy in Bauchi by political thugs on January 22, saying that Yuguda’s claims against him were irrational.

While querying the governor’s commitment to the ruling party, Mohammed said: “It is simply irrational for Governor Yuguda to allege that the minister hired thugs to stone and embarrass himself (minister) while addressing the presidential rally in his home state. By this claim, Yuguda has proven correct the allegation that he has been hobnobbing with the APC at night and running with the PDP in daytime.”

“By Yuguda’s latest embarrassing conduct, he has successfully exposed his chameleonic character as an APC mole in the PDP. We call on Isa Yuguda to please respect himself by leaving Senator Bala Mohammed alone.”

“Many Nigerians still remember recent media reports that Yuguda is the real godfather and sponsor of the APC governorship candidate in Bauchi State and that he has not been campaigning for President Jonathan’s re-election in the state. Again, history is there to expose the governor as an unabashed fifth columnist in the PDP,” Mohammed added.
