Wike vs APC govs: Tinubu may broker truce in France

President Bola Tinubu may intervene in the dispute between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and APC governors. According to Punch Nigeria, Tinubu is set to broker a truce between the two parties.

The disagreement started when Wike described the APC governors as "politically lazy". The governors, through their chairman, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, had rejected any alliance that threatens President Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. Farouk Aliyu, an APC chieftain, told Channels Television that the party will not tolerate Wike's comments, as reported by Daily Post Nigeria.

Wike's comments were made on Arise Television's 'Prime Time' programme, while Aliyu's warning was made on Channels Television's Politics Today. The APC governors had vowed loyalty to the party's cause, and Aliyu stated that Wike's suggestions for a coalition are "totally unacceptable".
