Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has alleged that the Federal Government is using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, against him because he refused to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Mohammed said this on Wednesday in Bauchi during the signing
of the 2026 appropriation bill into law.
The governor decried 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.
According to him, no amount of harassment would force him to
join the APC.
