APC's Yilwatda Addresses Rift with Wike and Governors
Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), announced that the party will address the ongoing disagreement between some APC governors and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, through dialogue and mutual respect. Yilwatda emphasized the APC leadership's commitment to maintaining party unity and preparing for the 2027 general elections.
The conflict arose after the Progressive Governors’ Forum, led by Hope Uzodimma, rejected political arrangements they believed could undermine the APC or its candidates. The governors resolved not to support any political alliances that could weaken the party.
Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), clarified that his support for President Tinubu does not equate to abandoning the PDP or endorsing APC candidates. Yilwatda urged that the disagreement should not escalate into a crisis and described it as a manageable difference in political perspectives.
