They alleged that his outbursts against Wike and the federal government’s tax reforms reflect a pattern of self-serving behavior detrimental to the PDP.
“Bala Mohammed should either stop disgracing the PDP as he is currently doing or quit the party for its loyal members and leaders to reposition it,” the statement read.
“His persistence in abusing the PDP to criticize government policies that he does not understand, as was the case with the tax reform bills, has diminished the party’s standing in the eyes of Nigerians.”
PDP group commends Wike for his actions
The group commended Wike for his “impactful leadership” and accused Bala Mohammed of attempting to undermine the Minister’s achievements. They further noted that the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, of which Mohammed is a member, had endorsed the tax reforms, making his opposition both contradictory and divisive.
“Even if Wike had not placed Bala Mohammed in his place, the Nigerian Governors’ Forum’s endorsement of the tax bills should have been enough for any reasonable person to abandon ethno-sectarian criticisms of people-oriented policies,” the group added.

Group alleges Mohammed aiming for presidency
The PDP-YFN attributed Mohammed’s alleged behavior to his ambitions for the 2027 presidential elections, accusing him of using the PDP as a “special purpose vehicle” to achieve his personal goals. They described his efforts to undermine Wike as “desperation” and labeled him a liability to the party.
“We now understand that Bala Mohammed’s arrogance stems from his delusion of being the PDP’s presidential aspirant to beat in 2026,” the statement continued.
“This desperation has turned him into a comical figure undermining the party’s integrity.”
The group urged Mohammed to either leave the PDP or reevaluate his approach, suggesting that he register under Wike as an apprentice to learn effective governance and leadership.
They also called on Wike to ignore the governor’s “tantrums” and continue his work in the FCT and within the PDP.
“Governor Bala Mohammed’s records as a senator, minister, and governor pale in comparison to Wike’s achievements. His obsession with Wike’s performance highlights his insecurities,” the statement concluded.
