A dramatic altercation has emerged at the highest levels of Nigerian politics, involving the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed. According to Tuggar, the confrontation occurred when Governor Mohammed allegedly barged into a private conversation between him and Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Tuggar claimed that the governor not only interrupted the dialogue but also launched into a tirade of personal insults, including a disrespectful remark about Tuggar’s late father, who passed away more than two decades ago. The minister further alleged that Governor Mohammed threatened to slap him during the heated exchange.
Describing the incident as “drawing first blood,” Tuggar’s revelations have ignited a wave of controversy and public outrage. As of now, there has been no official response from Governor Mohammed, leaving many Nigerians speculating about the full details and implications of the confrontation.
The silence from Bauchi Government House continues to fuel debate, with citizens demanding accountability and a clear statement on the shocking clash between two high-ranking public officials.
