Wike’s Wrath: CNG Condemns Minister’s ‘Bandit-Like’ Threats Against Bauchi State
…Warns Of Dire Consequences
The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), in a scathing rebuke, has denounced the recent threats made by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, against Bauchi State, describing them as “disgraceful, thuggish, and bandit-like.”
The CNG’s condemnation was on the heels of Wike’s incendiary remarks on live television, which have sparked widespread outrage and concerns about the minister’s fitness for office.
According to the CNG, Wike’s behaviour is a stark reminder of a “dangerous and unrefined attitude” and a direct challenge to the peace and stability of Northern Nigeria.
The group has warned that it does not take such threats lightly and is fully prepared to confront Wike and anyone who believes they can bully or destabilize the region.
The CNG’s National Coordinator, Comrade Jamilu Aliyu Charanchi, expressed shock and disappointment that a figure with such a reputation holds a position in President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Charanchi called on President Tinubu to urgently reconsider the inclusion of “volatile and unrefined elements” in his government, emphasizing that the Nigerian people deserve leaders who will work towards unity and stability, not those who would threaten it with their actions.
The CNG said it remains steadfast in its commitment to defending Northern Nigeria against any form of aggression or intimidation.
It has also vowed to respond with equal force to any threat posed by Wike or his likes.
The coalition continued: “As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Wike’s actions have embarrassed the Tinubu administration and sullied the image of responsible governance.”
