Jibrin Calls Wike a Key Asset for APC and Tinubu

Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the House of Representatives representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State, described Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, as an “asset” to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Jibrin stated that Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, has significantly contributed to strengthening President Bola Tinubu’s administration and its political prospects ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He noted that Wike's collaboration with the Tinubu administration, despite being a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has benefited APC members and stakeholders. Jibrin claimed that Wike has effectively handed over Rivers State to the APC and has played a crucial role in managing opposition politics through the government of national unity.

He acknowledged Wike's unique political style but emphasized the importance of managing differences with him rather than confronting him publicly.
