APC Chairman Yilwatda Addresses Wike's Coalition Issues

Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), discussed the political disagreements between some APC governors and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, regarding his Rainbow Coalition. Yilwatda stated that the APC would not allow these disagreements to hinder its preparations for the 2027 general elections.

He highlighted the establishment of internal structures and reconciliation mechanisms to manage disputes, emphasizing dialogue and cooperation as the party's preferred methods. During an interview with Vanguard, he noted that while different political groups could pursue common objectives, they must not create divisions within the party.

Yilwatda assured that the APC leadership would encourage stakeholders to prioritize collective goals over personal interests, particularly in supporting President Tinubu's administration. He acknowledged the inevitability of disagreements within a large political organization but insisted that these should not lead to permanent divisions that could affect electoral preparations.
