Governor Bala Mohamm3d of Bauchii State has said no amount of harassment would force him to join the All Progressives Congress APC, saying the Federal Government is using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, against him because he refused to join the ruling APC.
Gov Mohammed said this on Wednesday in Bauchi during the signing of the 2026 appropriation bill into law.
He said ldecried that one of his commissioners is currently being detained by the EFCC.
“As a governor, someone who is the head of the opposition, my commissioner has been kept and will not be released by the EFCC.
“Even when I have immunity as a governor, my name was stupendously mentioned in a motion in a court of law in Nigeria. Me, Bala Mohammed,” he said.
He said that the APC-led federal government thinks it can use the courts and institutions of government, like the EFCC, to persecute and prosecute Nigerians who are not within their own party.
