The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a stern warning to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over what it described as persistent attempts to meddle in the internal affairs of the ruling party.
Speaking on Trust TV News on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, the APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, accused the former Rivers State governor of overstepping political boundaries and seeking to exert undue influence within the party’s structures.
Ibrahim said recent political moves and public interventions attributed to Wike amounted to interference in the APC’s internal processes, stressing that the party’s leadership would no longer tolerate such conduct.
“Wike has attempted to interfere in the affairs of the APC, and his wings will be cut,” Ibrahim declared, signalling what he described as a firmer stance by the party hierarchy.
While acknowledging that political alliances and engagements are part of Nigeria’s democratic culture, the APC spokesman warned that no individual—regardless of status, office or past influence—would be allowed to undermine party discipline or established decision-making mechanisms.
He said the ruling party remained focused on internal cohesion and preparations for future electoral contests, adding that any action capable of destabilising the APC would be decisively addressed.
Ibrahim’s comments come amid growing tensions surrounding Wike’s political role and his relationship with both the APC leadership and key actors within the ruling party, further fuelling debate over the limits of cross-party influence in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.
