Tensions within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have escalated as senior party leaders have issued a stern warning to President Bola Tinubu over the conduct of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, in Rivers State.
Amid renewed hostilities between Wike and his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, APC leaders say Wike’s political manoeuvres are endangering party cohesion and could force a showdown with the Presidency.
A member of the APC National Working Committee (NWC), speaking anonymously to The Guardian, said the party may soon demand that President Tinubu make a choice between the party and the FCT minister.
“We may ask the President to choose between us and his FCT minister if Wike continues to behave as if only he can serve the political interests of the President in Rivers State or any other state for that matter. He is not a member of this party,” the source said.
This latest warning follows Wike’s declaration that Governor Fubara would not return for a second term in 2027, a statement that has sparked outrage among APC loyalists, especially in Rivers State.
Party strategists argue that the APC cannot afford to let Wike, a minister not formally registered with the party, sabotage the President’s interests in the oil-rich state ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Olafeso: Wike Now Isolated In APC
Former PDP National Vice Chairman (South-West), Eddy Olafeso, described Wike’s current political situation as a consequence of being outpaced by Fubara, who he said swiftly aligned with the APC before his former boss could.
Speaking in an interview with The Guardian, Olafeso said Wike is probably the most unfortunate politician in the history of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic.
He said the Rivers State governor played politics faster than the minister by joining the APC, leaving his former boss in the cold.
Olafeso also said APC stalwarts have shown Wike the way out by making it clear that Fubara would be recognised as the leader of their party in Rivers, before Wike resolved to defect to the APC.
“Some of them are even calling for his removal as minister,” he revealed.
