Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode has come out to defend Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed over allegation that he is a terrorist.
Recall that on Monday, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom described his Bauchi colleague as terrorist over his justification of bearing of arms by herdsmen.
Fani-Kayode said describing Mohammed as a terrorist was unacceptable, erroneous and absurd.

The former minister stated that Mohammed stands for Christians, Southerners and Middle Belters as much as he defends Northern Muslims.
The former minister pointed out that Christians in Bauchi State are living peacefully.

“We must choose our battles wisely & know who our real enemies are. I have disagreed with my friend & brother Gov. Bala Mohammed on several occassions over the years & I do not share his views on a number of issues but to describe him as a terrorist is uncharitable & absurd.1/

..His role in the Senate at that time in ensuring that the then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan was declared Acting President was exemplary & inspiring. Bala may sometimes say things that many in the South disagree with but his spirit is clean & his mind is pure. 3/

..name one or two but Bala is not amongst them. He is a leading member of the PDP Ministers Forum, a group which I belong to, & I assure anyone that cares to listen that he is far more comfortable with indulging in an intellectual joust in which we can agree to disagree than..5/

..To call Bala a terrorist is unacceptable and erroneous. I doubt that has ever killed a chicken let alone a human being.
