Jibrin Urges APC to Retain Wike's Support Ahead of 2027

Abdulmumin Jibrin, a member of the House of Representatives representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency, warned the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) about the potential loss of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, ahead of the 2027 elections. Jibrin stated that the PGF, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, opposed Wike’s Rainbow Coalition, viewing it as a threat to their candidates.

He asserted that if Wike withdraws support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), he would be highly sought after by other political parties. Jibrin urged APC governors to negotiate with Wike, highlighting his significant contributions to the party and the necessity of retaining him for the President's re-election efforts.

He noted that Wike possesses qualities that ensure his continued relevance in politics, regardless of his official position. Jibrin criticized the PGF's approach to Wike and emphasized the importance of tailored discussions with him.
