FCT Minister Sponsored Stoning of Jonathan -Yuguda

The Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda, has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Bala Mohammed, of being the sponsor of the youths who stoned President Goodluck Jonathan in Bauchi last Thursday.

“The minister and his cohorts proved to be agents of the All Progressives Congress after they bought brooms and engaged youths to stone Mr. President,” Yuguda said.

He spoke on Thursday through his Deputy Chief Press Secretary, Danlami Babban Tanko, saying security reports indicated that the attack on Jonathan’s convoy at the Bauchi Peoples Democratic Party presidential rally was masterminded by Abuja politicians.

“The governor explained the true state of things in his position as the Chief Security Officer of the state after he received all the reports from security agencies of various organs and he has the right not to tell anyone his source,” Tanko said.

He said the FCT minister had acted in a manner that offended the northern culture of respecting the elders and that he had betrayed Yuguda as a mentor.

“The FCT Minister betrayed his mentor because whatever he has gotten today, Yuguda la!d the foundation for him to get it. Nobody knew him until when Yuguda sponsored him to become senator,” he stressed.

Asked if the feud between the governor and the minister would not mar the chances of PDP in the general elections, Danlami said PDP in Bauchi belonged to Yuguda.

“The people of the state always support their governor, they will not betray him because he was the only one who lives with Bauchi people, he sits with them and solves their problems, unlike the Abuja politicians who only do everything for their personal gains and none of them will ever come to meet with the Bauchi people,” he said.
