The Concerned Labour Party Northern Stakeholders have condemned what they described as “malicious, unfounded, and disgraceful” attacks by activist and publisher, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, against Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, and his family.
At a press conference held on Tuesday at Talk Town Hotel, Gura Topp, Rayfield, Jos South, Plateau State, the group strongly criticised Sowore for what they called habitual disrespect toward elders and prominent national figures.
Addressing the conference, Comrade Solomon Y. Ndam, chairman of the group, said Sowore had once again resorted to defamation, character assassination, and social media propaganda, this time targeting one of Northern Nigeria’s most respected political leaders.
"Let it be known that his latest campaign of insults is not just an attack on Governor Bala Mohammed alone, but a direct threat to the peace, dignity, and safety of his entire family," Ndam stated.
The Concerned described Governor Bala Mohammed as a man of proven integrity, a nation-builder, and a statesman whose contributions to Nigerian politics are anchored on dedication and visible results.
"His achievements in Bauchi State, from infrastructure and education to healthcare, security, and youth empowerment, are widely acknowledged both locally and internationally,” Ndam added.
They expressed outrage that Sowore, “who has not built anything meaningful for society,” would launch such “unprovoked and shameful” attacks.
"We want Mr. Sowore to understand that the 19 Northern States are watching him keenly. We will no longer tolerate his disrespect, incitement, or threats against our leaders. If he fails to stop this campaign of hate, he will be made to dance to the music he is playing," the group warned.
Reaffirming their position, the stakeholders said they completely dissociate themselves from Sowore’s actions.
"As Northern Labour Party members and stakeholders, we remain proud to identify with visionary leaders like Governor Bala Mohammed, who continues to serve with distinction and honour," Concerned said.
The group also urged peace-loving Nigerians and fellow Labour Party members nationwide to condemn what they termed as abuse of free speech.
"If left unchecked, Sowore’s irresponsible conduct will continue to erode the moral foundation of our democracy.
"We stand in solidarity with Governor Bala Mohammed and his family, and we reaffirm our collective commitment to defend the dignity of credible leaders across Nigeria. Enough is enough,” they concluded.
