Kano Lawmaker Jibrin Warns APC Against Wike Conflict

On September 16, 2026, Abdulmumin Jibrin, a lawmaker representing a Kano State constituency for the All Progressives Congress (APC), warned party members about the potential repercussions of antagonizing FCT Minister Wike. During an interview on Channels Television, Jibrin addressed the increasing tensions between Wike and certain APC governors as the 2027 elections approach.

Wike has been utilizing his Rainbow Coalition, a multi-party platform, to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign while maintaining his membership in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Despite public disagreements with APC governors, including Hope Uzodimma and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Wike insists that his coalition does not equate to an APC structure.

Jibrin cautioned that undermining Wike could lead to consequences detrimental to the APC, reflecting a broader concern within the party regarding Wike's political influence and the shifting political landscape ahead of the elections.
