Wike Accuses APC Governors of Undermining Fubara

Nyesom Wike, serving as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, accused All Progressives Congress (APC) governors of orchestrating moves against him and undermining Governor Siminalayi Fubara. In an interview on Arise TV on September 15, Wike traced the conflict back to his ministerial appointment, asserting that the animosity from the APC governors had been building since he was named FCT Minister.

He claimed that the governors were unhappy with his appointment and that this resentment influenced their engagement with Fubara during a political crisis in Rivers State. Wike alleged that the APC governors exploited the dispute between him and Fubara, providing misleading information that exacerbated the rift.

He suggested that their interference negatively impacted Fubara's political standing, particularly in relation to his re-election bid, although he did not specify which APC governors were involved or detail the misleading information or actions taken against Fubara.
