Wike Accuses Kwara Governor of Political Sabotage
During a media chat in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, a minister and member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), accused Kwara Governor AbdulRazaq of orchestrating a campaign against him in political circles. Wike dismissed claims that his political activities were intended to undermine APC governors, asserting that he is supporting President Bola Tinubu's re-election while remaining in the PDP.
He specifically criticized AbdulRazaq for accusing him of sponsoring politicians against the governor's preferred candidates in Kwara, suggesting that AbdulRazaq should appreciate Wike's role in providing a platform for disgruntled APC members who joined the PDP. The political landscape in Kwara is tense as AbdulRazaq, serving his second term, faces competition over his succession ahead of the 2027 elections.
Wike also mentioned Governor Hope Uzodinma, indicating a complex relationship where he has previously supported Uzodinma after a Supreme Court ruling in 2020.
