Wike Challenges APC Governors at Tinubu's Campaign Launch
On October 15, 2026, political tensions surfaced at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja, attended by key figures including FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Senate President Hope Uzodimma. Wike, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who supports Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027, urged APC governors to demonstrate their political strength through tangible results, specifically cautioning against taking Lagos State's votes for granted.
His comments were directed at Uzodimma, who had previously stated that APC governors would not support any arrangement that could weaken the party. Wike's remarks followed a public feud with Uzodimma, who is eyeing a Senate seat.
Godswill Akpabio, speaking at the event, warned against governors neglecting their duties in pursuit of political positions. Following the inauguration, senators expressed confidence in Akpabio's leadership of the 11th Senate, endorsing him and Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin.
