Thursday, October 1, 2026 - The lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has clarified that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is aligned with President Bola Tinubu rather than the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a political party.
Adams Oshiomhole made the clarification on Tuesday while
appearing as a guest on a TVC interview program.
The remark comes amid ongoing political friction between
Nyesom Wike and several APC governors, following the minister's public
description of certain governors within the ruling party as "politically
lazy."
The former Edo State governor emphasized that although the
FCT Minister maintains his membership in the opposition Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), he has repeatedly declared his backing for President Bola Tinubu’s
administration and political future.
“Wike is supporting President Tinubu and not the APC. The
position of some of the APC governors and that of the minister is that they are
both unanimous. They are all committed to supporting the re-election of
President Tinubu,” Adams Oshiomhole stated.
“I am comfortable with the fact that the two sides are
working for the same goal, supporting the President.
“He has said so himself repeatedly that he is not an APC person; he is not a member of the APC, but he supports the President,” he added.
