In a televised spectacle that felt more like a Nollywood villain monologue than a ministerial briefing, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has once again turned his verbal flamethrower on Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed. Standing before cameras today, April 1, 2026, Wike—who seems to have more time for party feuds than pothole fixes—dismissed the Governor as “politically unstable” and “inconsistent.”
The Minister’s latest attempt to lampoon the Bauchi Governor comes at a time when Mohammed is being hailed by his supporters as a “lonely warrior” holding the PDP battle line without the luxury of a godfather in the Presidency. While Wike struts with the confidence of a man who has successfully traded his party’s soul for a seat at Tinubu’s table, Nigerians are not laughing at his “madness” anymore.
The backlash across the country has been swift and stinging. From the streets of Abuja to the digital squares of X (formerly Twitter), the condemnation is loud: Nigerians are tired of Wike’s “toxic” brand of politics. Many have labeled him a “political mole” and a “chaos merchant” whose primary job description seems to be the total demolition of the opposition. Critics point out the irony of a man calling others “unstable” while he himself keeps one foot in the PDP and both hands in the APC’s pocket.
“He’s like a man who sets his own house on fire and then mocks his neighbors for the smoke,” one social media commentator noted, reflecting a growing sentiment that Wike’s behavior is beneath the dignity of his office. As he continues to use his “big mouth” to target a Governor who is actually doing the heavy lifting of opposition politics, the consensus is clear: Wike should take Bala Mohammed’s name out of his mouth and focus on the FCT, or finally pack his bags and join the APC officially instead of playing “undertaker” from the inside.
