APC North Central Forum Cautions Wike

The North Central Forum (NCF) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, against taking any action or making any move that would be inimical to the interest of the party or the North Central region.

The forum’s chairman, Alhaji Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, disclosed this while speaking in Jos yesterday after an emergency meeting to assess and review the election tribunal judgements and how the APC has fared so far.

According to him,  all hands must be on deck to ensure that the party performs well in court, being it tribunal, appeal court or and Supreme Court, adding that  reports reaching them indicated that some appointed  office holders like Wike were still playing double games, since he is part of the APC by appointment, but remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He added that they learnt that the former governor of River State was still backing the PDP on many of their endeavours and activities, particularly on post-election cases in the various courts against the APC.

Zazzaga said it was high time Wike came out clean and took a stand on the party he really belongs to, otherwise should his actions run contrary to that of the APC’s interest, they would not hesitate to initiate several actions against him, including legal action.

Zazzaga further cautioned Wike against using his position as the FCT minister to strategise for his own 2027 presidential ambition as some people were peddling in some quarters, saying the forum would be watchful to make sure that his loyalty to the nation, the APC and President Bola Tinubu is complete first, without engaging in any tactics for self interest.

He advised Wike to be cautious in the FCT demolition, land revocation and other administrative policies that would have negative outcomes, as the North Central would be the first region to bear the brunt and take the full heat of any unpalatable occurrence in the FCT.

He said the region is already going through a lot of challenges, including security, and they would not want anything to further aggravate the situation.
