A former presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad, has cautioned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, against disrupting the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. This warning comes amidst an ongoing war of words between Wike and the APC’s national secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru.
The dispute began when Senator Basiru reminded Wike that his support for President Bola Tinubu does not automatically make him a member of the APC. Ahmad echoed this sentiment, stating that millions of non-APC Nigerians also support the president, and Wike’s support is no different. He emphasized that Wike’s attempt to destabilize the party in Rivers State will not be tolerated.
Ahmad also warned Wike against bringing the spirit of his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, into the APC. This caution suggests that the APC is keen on maintaining its internal unity and cohesion, and will not allow external influences to disrupt its operations.
The backstory to this development is Wike’s recent expression of support for President Tinubu, which has raised questions about his political affiliations. As a former member of the PDP, Wike’s decision to back the APC-led government has been seen as a significant development in Nigeria’s political landscape.
The ongoing dispute between Wike and the APC’s national secretary has significant implications for the party’s internal dynamics and its relationships with external stakeholders. As the APC seeks to consolidate its power and maintain its grip on the federal government, it will be important to monitor how this situation unfolds and how the party navigates its relationships with key figures like Wike.
In the coming days and weeks, it will be crucial to watch how the APC responds to Wike’s overtures and how the party seeks to manage its internal cohesion. The outcome of this situation will have important implications for Nigeria’s political stability and the future of the APC as a dominant force in the country’s politics.
