APC chieftain, Farouk Aliyu, says that the Minister of the FCT, Nyeosm Wike, is in some way a danger to the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027.
His comments come days after Wike and the APC governors had a spat online.
Shortly after having a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, the APC Governors’ Forum, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma, openly kicked against Wike’s Rainbow Coalition group. They stated that they will not support or engage in any political arrangement that is not wholeheartedly in support of all APC candidates.
Wike, in his response, dismissed their position, accusing them of being ‘’Smart but lazy’’. He argued that he never promised to work for APC candidates at the subnational levels. Wike, who is a member of the PDP, said his promise is to work for the re-election of Tinubu but will work for the election of his party members. He described the APC governors as ‘’Smart but lazy’ politicians.
Reacting to the political tension, Garba who appeared on Channels TV last night, accused Wike of being arrogant and one who fails to remember that power and life in itself is transient. He said in some ways, Wike, by his position, poses a danger to Tinubu’s re-election.
