Wike and AbdulRazaq Dispute: NBA Chairman Weighs In
Jimoh Muhammed, the Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Ilorin branch, addressed the reported disagreement between Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, and AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Governor of Kwara State. His comments were made in a personal capacity and not as an official NBA statement.
The rift arose after Wike criticized AbdulRazaq during a media chat in Port Harcourt, alleging that the governor was politically opposing him and accusing him of sponsoring candidates against AbdulRazaq's preferences. Muhammed noted that the reasons for their strained relationship are known only to Wike and AbdulRazaq, highlighting the peculiarity of both being members of the APC while publicly disagreeing.
He also pointed out the absence of a public response from the Federal Government regarding Wike's remarks and urged caution in interpreting the dispute, acknowledging both politicians' rights to express their views.
