APC Defends Wike's Role in Tinubu's 2027 Campaign Council
The All Progressives Congress (APC) responded to reports suggesting a rift between its governors and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. APC spokesperson Felix Morka clarified that these tensions are largely unfounded.
This statement followed Wike's appointment to President Bola Tinubu's presidential campaign council for the 2027 general elections. Morka emphasized that Wike, a former governor and current cabinet member, has consistently supported Tinubu, indicating a shared political interest.
He noted that the APC's Progressive Governors Forum consists of governors elected under the party's platform, while Wike's role signifies collaboration rather than conflict. Morka also highlighted the significance of non-APC governors participating in the campaign council, suggesting that such cross-party involvement is a novel approach in Nigerian politics.
He argued that Tinubu's efforts to unite politicians across party lines demonstrate a commitment to bridging political divides, fostering a broad coalition for his re-election campaign.
