APC chieftain warns party over Wike’s activities

Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, has warned that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike may “scatter” the party like he did to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He said Wike if allowed to continue what he termed overreach on Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State, he would scatter APC like he did to PDP before 2027.
Posting on his Facebook page, Garba said Wike should exercise restraint while appearing to be more powerful.
Wike and Fubara have been at loggerheads over the political control of Rivers State since the governor assumed office in 2023.
The crisis had affected the Rivers State House of Assembly, with 27 lawmakers loyal to Wike initially claiming to have defected to the APC but later dismissed such claims.
Their initial claim of defection led to a parallel Assembly with Victor Oko-Jumbo emerging as Speaker.
But, the Supreme Court had ordered the reinstatement of the Martins Amaewhule-led Assembly.
On Monday, the Assembly initiated an impeachment process against Fubara for alleged gross misconduct.
However, Garba wrote: “If we allow Wike to continue his overreach on Fubara in Rivers, he’ll scatter us before 2027 as he scatters the PDP before 2023.
Amid current situation, the timing is very poor.
“There is wisdom in exercising restraint even when you appear more powerful.”
