APC's Aliyu Farouk Criticizes Wike's 'Lazy Governors' Remark

Aliyu Farouk, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed dissatisfaction with Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for labeling APC governors as lazy. During an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Farouk stated that he believed President Bola Tinubu would also be unhappy with Wike's comments.

He emphasized that the APC is working to establish a unified campaign structure at both national and state levels, with governors leading campaign activities in their states. While acknowledging Wike's right to express his views, Farouk made it clear that the APC resents his remarks about its governors.

He also questioned Wike's assertion of having discussions or arrangements with President Tinubu regarding political activities ahead of the 2027 elections, stating that the APC is not privy to such discussions. Farouk urged APC members to avoid public disputes with Wike over the matter.
