Wike's Actions Prompt APC Leaders to Consider Alternatives

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is causing significant concern among All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders as they prepare for the 2027 general elections. Reports indicate that a rift has developed between Wike’s Rainbow Coalition and the APC Governors’ Forum, with many party stakeholders viewing Wike as a potential threat to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.

Sources within the APC revealed that governors from Ogun, Kwara, and Imo states, among others, are dissatisfied with Wike's public criticisms of party leaders and his claims of having the power to deliver votes for the President. This discontent has led some APC leaders to contemplate supporting alternative candidates.

They are urging President Tinubu to address the situation before it escalates further, as Wike's actions are perceived as undermining the influence of party governors and could have serious implications for the upcoming election.
