Bala Mohammed has accused the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to use state institutions to target political opponents.
Speaking at a press conference, the Bauchi State governor alleged that agencies like the courts and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are being used to go after Nigerians who are not members of the ruling party.
“The APC-led federal government thinks they can use the court and the EFCC to prosecute Nigerians who are not in their party.
“If they don’t stop, we are prepared to declare a war. I assure you, we will not keep quiet any longer. I will not allow anybody to criminalize me because I refuse to join their party,” he said.
Mohammed made it clear that he has no intention of joining the APC and insisted he will continue to speak out against what he sees as abuse of power.
