The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has said President Bola Tinub will struggle to get 2 percent votes in the 2027 presidential election FCT if he fails to stop the minister, Nyesom Wike from killing the party in the territory.
They also said the party may lose the next Area Councils election if the situation remains this way, claiming that the minister is killing the political structure of the APC in FCT due to his lack of regard for the party and its leadership.
The party leaders stated this at a press conference in Abuja decrying the disregard of APC members in FCT in recent appointments made by Wike.
The APC chieftains, led by convener, Comrade Abdulwahab Ekekhide, and co-convener, David Omobolaji Obaje, said the minister, since assuming office has refused to sit with the leadership of the party, even though the party has written him a series of letters for him to grant the party audience, but all to no avail.
Recall that Wike, a PDP member, was appointed FCT minister by President Tinubu, the leader of the APC.
Ekekhide however said the leadership and entire members of the APC family in the FCT, in unison, reject “in very strong terms the continuous lopsided appointments, abandonment and total disregard for the APC in FCT by the minister.”
