The All Progressives Congress (APC) South-east caucus has expressed its support for the party’s governors in the region while calling on the National Working Chairman, Wike, to issue an apology for alleged acts of "disrespect."
In a statement, the caucus highlighted the significant role played by APC governors, particularly those in the South-east, in mobilizing support for President Bola Tinubu. The group emphasized that these leaders demonstrated their effectiveness in rallying the party's base, a contribution that was notably evident during the 2023 presidential election.
The demand for an apology suggests a tension between the central party leadership and the regional governors, with the caucus framing the issue as a matter of protocol and respect for elected officials who have worked to secure the party’s electoral success.
By citing the 2023 election as proof of their loyalty and capability, the South-east caucus appears to be reinforcing the standing of its regional leaders within the broader APC structure, which is currently navigating internal dynamics under the "Rainbow Coalition" banner.
The party has not yet issued a public response to the caucus's specific request for an apology, but the statement underscores the ongoing efforts to maintain unity and clear communication channels between the national executive and state-level leadership in Nigeria's political landscape.
