The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Ajibola Basiru, has urged the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to resign his position and channel his energy toward what he described as an obsession with politics in Rivers State.
Basiru made the call in a statement issued on Monday, stressing that members of the party’s National Working Committee must show due respect to sitting governors and acknowledge them as the recognised leaders of the APC in their respective states.
According to him, party discipline and internal order require national officers to relate appropriately with elected governors to avoid unnecessary conflicts that could weaken the party’s structure.
The APC chieftain’s remarks followed earlier comments credited to Wike, in which the former Rivers State governor reportedly cautioned the APC national secretary against interfering in the state’s political affairs.
The exchange has further heightened political tension around Rivers State, with party stakeholders closely watching how the disagreement may impact alignments and strategies ahead of future political contests.
