APC Governors Consider Alliance with Atiku Against Wike
Governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are reportedly in discussions to form an alliance with Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as tensions rise within the party. Yusuf Musa, an APC chieftain and promoter of the Tinubu Continuity Project, disclosed this on September 23.
The governors are not planning to leave the APC but are considering this alliance in response to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike's Rainbow Coalition, which aims to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election. Wike's coalition, which originated in Rivers State, has faced opposition from APC governors, who fear it could weaken the party.
Musa expressed concerns over Wike's assertion that President Tinubu had ceded nine states to his coalition for elections. He warned that if the APC leadership does not intervene, the governors may escalate their alliance efforts.
The APC Governors Forum, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, has formally rejected Wike's coalition.
