Wike vs APC Govs: Tinubu Now in a Tight Corner - Reuben Abati
President Bola Tinubu is facing a difficult situation amid the ongoing political conflict between the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, according to anchor Reuben Abati.
On Wednesday, Abati, a prominent Nigerian journalist, discussed the situation on Arise Television's Morning Show. His comments came a day after Wike publicly criticized the APC governors over their opposition to his Rainbow Coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to Abati, President Tinubu is now caught in the middle of the dispute:
"President Tinubu is in a tight corner. He must choose between supporting the APC governors or aligning with Wike and his machinery. The situation is particularly challenging for Tinubu in the northern part of the country, where the governors face pressure from communities and anti-Tinubu forces.
Wike accused the APC governors of being "politically lazy" in their stance against his Rainbow Coalition. Abati suggests that if the governors receive financial incentives from Tinubu, they may remain passive, but if anything goes wrong, they can turn around and claim that Wike promised to secure the presidency.
