The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has told President Bola Tinubu that he will struggle to get two per cent votes in the 2027 presidential election in the nation’s capital if he fails to stop the minister, Nyesom Wike from killing the party.
The party leaders at a press conference in Abuja, lamented the disregard of APC members in recent appointments done by the minister.
They said the party may lose the next Area Councils election if the situation remains unchanged, alleging 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 APC leaders, Comrade Abdulwahab Ekekhide, and 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 them audience, but all to no avail.
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.”
“We call on Mr. President, who is the Governor-General to call the Minister to order, so that he can retrace his steps and start empowering the party or else, the party will struggle to get 2% for the President in the 2027 Presidential election and may lose the next Area Councils election if the situation remains this way.
“As we all know, the President is the Governor-General of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), but delegates his powers to a Minister, and today Barr. Nyesom Wike is standing in for the President as Hon. Minister of the FCT,” he added.
