APC Chairmen Press Nyesom Wike to Join Party for Clarity

State chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have urged FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to resolve the uncertainty surrounding his political allegiance by officially joining the APC. The chairmen contend that Wike cannot support President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election while remaining a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This call follows Wike's public endorsement of Tinubu's presidential bid, despite his ongoing PDP membership, which has led to divisions within the APC. Zamfara Governor Dauda Lawal articulated the sentiments of several APC governors, stating that Wike must choose between the APC and the coalition he supports.

Lawal emphasized the need for clarity in Wike's political stance, indicating that he would raise the issue with President Tinubu. APC Publicity Secretary in Imo, Jones Onwuasoanya, echoed this sentiment, asserting that Wike should formally align with the APC if his support for Tinubu is genuine, dismissing the Rainbow Coalition as a non-factor in Imo.
