Jibrin Urges APC to Negotiate with Wike Amid Threats

Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the House of Representatives representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency, asserted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) requires the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, more than Wike needs the party. Jibrin emphasized that other political parties, including the African Democratic Congress and the Nigeria Democratic Congress, are prepared to welcome Wike should he choose to leave the APC.

He urged the Progressive Governors Forum, led by Hope Uzodimma, to negotiate with Wike, similar to the approach taken by President Bola Tinubu. Jibrin highlighted Wike's significant contributions to the APC and warned that if Wike were to withdraw, he would remain in high demand nationally.

The Rainbow Coalition, which Wike is associated with, has over 100 senatorial candidates and poses a clear threat to APC candidates in the upcoming general elections, as indicated by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
