Tinubu Urged to Maintain Alliance with Wike Amid APC Tensions
President Bola Tinubu has been warned to be wary of "few pretending governors" (FPGs) within the All Progressives Congress (APC) as he navigates political alliances. This caution comes from Osita Okechukwu, a foundation member of the APC, who spoke in Enugu.
He criticized the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, for expressing concerns over the political coalition formed by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, who is seen as a potential distraction to Tinubu's re-election strategy. Okechukwu argued that the PGF should have addressed their concerns through proper party channels rather than publicly criticizing Wike.
He emphasized that some FPGs have lost relevance in their states and cautioned against abandoning Wike, who played a significant role in the 2023 presidential election. Okechukwu urged the governors to focus on strengthening their ties with the electorate instead of pressuring Tinubu to sever ties with Wike.
