Wike vs APC govs: Tinubu may broker truce in France

President Bola Tinubu is set to intervene in a growing dispute between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and APC governors. The disagreement comes ahead of the 2027 elections.

The APC governors, through their chairman, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, had rejected any alliance that threatens President Tinubu's re-election bid. They vowed loyalty to the party's cause.

In response, Wike described the APC governors as "politically lazy" on Arise Television's 'Prime Time' programme. According to Daily Post Nigeria, APC chieftain Farouk Aliyu reacted to Wike's comments, stating that the party will not tolerate Wike calling their governors 'lazy 419ers.'
