GOV BALA vs HE WIKE: LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD

Like Budha once said, “like the sun and the moon, the truth will always rise”.

Governor Bala Mohammed’s recent outbursts against His Excellency Nyeson Wike the Honourable Minister of the Federal Capital Territory though not entirely surprising have only served to expand the vistas of ingratitude and treachery based on what I know. As I witness this gross injustice, the questions I ask myself, are: is my comfort more important than saying the truth and is my fear of conflict worth allowing harm to go unchallenged? I have learned enough over the years to know beyond reasonable doubt that in the face of situations like this, if I choose to prioritize my comfort, I will fail the victim and fail myself. This is because injustice itself is a festering wound, it only grow its worse when brushed aside.

As someone who knows so much because I was the provocateur of the events between the two that I will speak to, I consider my silence not just cowardice but complicity. Therefore, I am not afraid to stand alone or risk conflict. I should not be misunderstood to be defending Wike but simply stating the raw truth that I know and I really don’t give a damn if the truth makes Wike look good. I have learnt to say the truth as I enjoy my freedom from being a slave to human opinion.

For starters, need I remind Governor Bala Mohammed that in 2018 PDP Gubernatorial primaries when we were not too sure he will win because, his then major opponent, Senator Abdul Ningi was the one who constituted the State party structure and had a bosom friend as Party chairman, it was Wike we turned to for help. I had called Wike to plead with him to help us in Bauchi without necessarily disclosing to him that it was Bala Mohammed that we wanted delivered. His response to me, was that are you sure you are in control of the process 100 percent? I said, I wasn’t too sure and he said to me leave it to me, I will help you sort it out.

To do it, Wike first of all made his bosom friend and close ally, Chief Dan Osi Orbih the Chairman of the for the Primaries and said I should discuss whatever I wanted with Chief Dan. We got talking and on the eve of the Primaries, Chief Dan was in Benin city and we needed to get him to Bauchi for the assignment, it was to Wike that I turned to again and his response to me was, my brother, I have told you not to bother about this. Tell Chief Dan to come to meet me in Port Harcourt. I did just that and amazingly Wike provided the private jet that flew Chief Dan to Bauchi and out of Bauchi for the assignment. I can say without fear of any contradiction that Wike bore all expenses for the exercise. It’s therefore shocking that this so called transactional character called Wike did not place any condition whatsoever for his .

That is just the beginning of the story, I hate to tell but I must. After the emergence of Bala Mohammed as the party flag bearer and having promised to sponsor all the party candidates if he gets the ticket, we were rudely awoken to the reality that Bala Mohammed had no money for his own campaigns let alone for other candidates of the party. Initially I thought it was some kind of a funny joke but as time went, I realized to my utter bewilderment that it was true. It turned out Bala Mohammed had lied to us about his financial capacity. So we had a meeting at my then residence at Wuse 2 Abuja to help raise money and we thought since Bala Mohammed was one time Minister for nearly 6 years he must have built enough goodwill we could harness if we organised a fundraiser for him. A committee was put in place and we spent N20 million to organize the fundraiser at the then Lady Kwai Hall, Sheraton Hotels, Abuja.

Before then, I had asked Bala Mohammed to give me a list of some of the people he had helped while he held sway as Minister for FCT. He obliged me with the list and after calling just four people on the list that I know so well, what they said to me jolted me and I reserve that for some other day. But suffice to say that I knew the fundraiser will be a flop so I was already thinking of alternatives. And as predicted, we had the fundraiser and to cut the long story short, all we raised from the fundraiser was a paltry N48 million and If you deduct the N20 million invested in organising it, that leaves you with a net of N28m. I have the records and our stakeholders are there to bear witness to this .

When it was obvious the masquerade will soon turn to a human being, I told our then two serving Senators who are alive and can testify that the only option we had was to go to a friend and brother, then Governor Wike for assistance. We got tickets and flew to Port Harcourt with Bala Mohammed without informing Wike that we were coming with him. On arrival, we were ushered into the Government house and asked to take our seats and wait for the Governor who was still upstairs to us shortly. As soon as Wike walked down the stairs to us and saw Bala Mohammed his visage changed and I noticed he was cold to me for the very first time. He asked us to him at the dining room for breakfast but excused me while those on my delegation waited. What happened next was nerve raking and humbling, I must say!

He was like, Speaker why did you bring Bala to my house without even caring to find out what our mission was. I said to him, I thought he is your friend since both of you served in the same cabinet under President Jonathan. He said to me let me tell you what you don’t know. When we were ministers, Bala Mohammed allocated plots of land to all Ministers except me. He also recalled how he humiliated him when he went to see him in his office as a colleague Minister just to get an approval to increase the number of floors on a building he had in Abuja, not to beg for plot which he refused to allocate to him. He said Bala Mohammed kept him in his waiting room for hours and later sneaked out of the office. That from that day he made up his mind never to have anything to do with him again. He added, I wish, you had told me it’s Bala you were rooting for but whatever you want I will assist you guys because I don’t say no to a brother but I assure you, you will regret your decision if Bala Mohammed becomes Governor. The rest is history.

He said to me let’s them at the dining so that I can confront him with these issues for you to know that I am not making things up. We ed them at the dinning and Wike confronted Bala with these issues in the open and in our very presence. Bala itted and pleaded for forgiveness assuring that he is now a changed man. The two Senators with me that day can confirm this to anyone who wants to establish the veracity of these narratives.

To cut the long story short, we ed the night at the Government house and the next morning Wike called and directed that his cash assistance be handed over to me to to Bala. I said, your Excellency, it’s better I call him so that he can collect the assistance himself least he thinks you are still angry with him. I sent for Bala and when he came Wike’s aide handed over the package to him and he collected it while almost kissing the ground. Wike therefore gave us the lifeline we needed to kick start Bala’s campaigns. If Bala has forgotten how much we left with that day, I will remind him. Wike didn’t stopped there, he gave us a private jet to ferry us back to Abuja. And I must add that was not the only time Wike helped Bala with resources and logistics. What is baffling is that the so called transactional Wike did not demand for anything in return nor place any condition for all that he did. Believe me this is not the end of the story but let’s leave it here.

With all these, my question to Bala is what happens to the golden adage that you don’t attempt to break the calabash from which you once sucked honey? For Bala, power is a poison and anyone who questions how he wields it, for that reason, is an eternal heretic that must be crushed at all cost.

Every sane person knows that true freedom doesn’t insist on expressing itself to the harm of others especially those that stood by you in your time of desperate need. For it is not in vain that they say, “a friend in need is a friend indeed”. Unfortunately, for those of us who know Bala too well, there is no room for debate about whether he is a rogue or mere scoundrel, as much as there is no debate about his moral bankruptcy, rooted in a contempt for truth. His mental pathology reveals a man that harbours grand delusions to the extent that he would not recognize the truth, whether about his private or political life, if confronted by it in an identity parade. As someone who is false to his friends and neighbours, it is impossible for him to be true to the public. Between Wike and Bala, Bala should be told in unequivocal that it is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. It is obvious that Bala is not near anything that he is projecting to the public.

When Wike was his benefactor, he said he knew Wike had done better than him and referred to him as, “ someone who is courageous, focused and determined, a person qualified and competent to help salvage Nigeria”. His words not mine. Now that Wike cuts off the benefits, he is a dead wood, former friend and a “transactional politician”. As a known wimp, he believes that Wike is now on the robs and he is punching so hard so that he can appropriate the glory from whatever pyrrhic victory that may ensue. Is it not ludicrous for someone who is mostly disliked for no reason other than he is shady, to call someone transactional? Time will not permit me to list those Bala has betrayed which includes his known godfather and our father, Baba Waziri, Alhaji Bello Kirfi, Elder statesman and former minister under President Shehu Shagari in the second republic.

Bala represents everything but decency which I said before that I doubted he will ever have. Those who thought I was too harsh including an ally of Wike who pleaded with me not to talk about Bala again are increasingly noticing this. I am sure they are now convinced that we cannot continue to run a therapy session for a troubled pyromaniac nay reptilian brat like this who consistently seeks to elevate himself by putting others down and who inhales rather than think before he talks. After all, it was saint John Chrysostom who said, “we must not mind insulting men, if by respecting them we offend God”.

Rivers state money is used to fund elections for northerners.

Bala Muhammad's ambition is already dead on arrival. He can't get PDP ticket in 2027, he's barking at the wrong tree.

Wike o, Bala o, Dogara o, same same. It's all for their selfish interests.

So why Bala come dey beef Wike anyhow like say Wike collect en birthright....

But Wike get mind sha...using state money to fund party elections and other frivolities.....

No wonder he had to pitch his tent to someone like Tinubu knowing fully well the kind of man Tinubu is when it comes with money cornerings and massive looting..... Birds of the same feathers.....They always know themselves.......I keep saying it, you see these 3 men , Tinubu, Akpabio and Wike,.....like I would always say, projects will be initiated and completed but I fear for the nation's treasury sha.......

Rivers money. 💰

Shameless Nigerian politicians,Wike sponsored this,sponsored that,where did he get the money from？Its only in Nigeria that thieving politicians are celebrated.I spit！！！

Wike put himself in that position where Bala will insult him. If Wike had worked with Fubara instead of working against Fubara, these problems will not occur.
If Dogara and Wike like, let them write Epistle from now till 2100, Fubara will be doling out money to Bala in self defense.

One thing I readily know too well is the propensity for bragging cum boasting that the Northern elites own like sand. They can boast and brag on any matter than any other tribe in Nigeria.

For instance, there was a time Abacha' wife was quoted as saying that;" their family can never be as poor as Dangote". Again, one time OPEC Chairman, Rilwan Lukman also boasted that no matter how much money a former Governor of Kaduna State steals, he would never be as rich as his lastborn that was still in College at the time.

As for Bala Muhammad, he's a serial jester cum lousy boastful empty entity.

This is as blatant as a wife telling her husband's umunna during a family meeting that all her kids belong to the gateman.

It has never been this bad and corruption has never been this bold, imagine a former speaker itting that he is privy to the use of state funds for electoral financial inducements.

To the best of my knowledge, Wike was not born into wealth, how he affords to fund a whole party and sponsor their elections round the country makes me wonder what the real job of EFCC is.

Just the other day, Yaya Bello who is being prosecuted for a stupendous fraud and outright theft of public funds was seen fraternizing with a serving government official...if it were in a country that had the littlest of decorum, such a government official will voluntarily resign for maintaining such affiliations.

But it is Nigeria; where the muscular dark boy with zero pedigree who doesn't practice what he preaches is deemed a messiah, while Tuface who is fed up of being emasculated is now considered a demon.

Till then, welcome to wherever you are.

must wike work with Fubara? What is Bala Muhammed business with wike and Fubaras fight? Why can't he mind his business like other governors? Bala thinks he can get fubara to sponsor his presidential campaign in 2027 and 2031 that's why he started attacking wike. I hope wike has also learnt his lesson to stop doling out cash to some of these politicians, most of them do not like him and when they have problems they run to him, an example is duoye diri and Aminu Tambuwal.

Dogara desperately looking for what to eat

Lol 😂

So?? Somebody financed Wike's own too

Where did Wike get the money from? The money meant to better the life of Rivers people! If true, Wike suppose to be in prison. Another angle to the information,Bala was former senator, former FCT Minister and other positions held in Bauchi State before elevated to national. Bala was not poor before contesting for Bauchi governor.

With his personal money?

dynicks:
So why Bala come dey beef Wike anyhow like say Wike collect en birthright....

Bala is a jealous clout chaser, he wants to use wike to climb up to the next level. He noticed that when you fight wike people starts ing you, he just wanted to cash in on the ignorant hatred people have for wike to boost his popularity, its the same thing fubara did but they will all fail.

Lol

That's all woke did with rivers money, thinking he would defeat Atiku hahahaha

ednut1:
With his personal money?

none of your business, if you don't know, wike also funded Obi. It's not a new thing, all your politicians are complicit.

Wike financed it with his personal funds or with funds from the coffers of the Rivers State Treasury

Really ? ..

We all say naija politicians are serial betrayers.......cannibals.

El Rufai is licking his wounds from what BAT has done to him now.....

Wike also funded Peter Obi.

what has obi got to do with this? What is the obsession with obi lol

Dogara should stfu.

Should I be subservient to my parents forever because they gave birth to me?

We should stop this mentality of worshipping people that once stood up for us when we can clearly see they are wrong.


Dogara want use Wike beef with Bala Muhammad go back APC? I mean, wtf is this?

What business did Wike own before ing politics that he's sponsoring everyone? Is that not Rivers State money?

If we had a working system, there are some things that should not be said publicly because that amounts to self indictment

PresidObi:

Wike really stole river state dry and that is why he is always feeling like God. Wike never had the rivers people at heart its just power grabbing for him
