Federal Capital Territory minister Nyesom Wike accuses governors Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State of working against him. Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, says the two governors have failed to reciprocate political support he claims to have extended to them.
Speaking during a media chat in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Wike frames his claims as an ongoing campaign to undermine him. Multiple outlets report he specifically describes Abdulrazaq as championing efforts against him “everywhere.” He also cites a strained relationship with Uzodinma, saying the Imo governor did not respond in kind to the support Wike gave.
While all accounts present the same core allegation—that Wike is being targeted by the two APC governors—the outlets emphasize slightly different details. Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria highlight the general charge of “waging war,” while Nigerian Eye adds more direct remarks about Abdulrazaq leading a campaign and repeats Wike’s statements about not addressing issues he cannot defend. All place the comments in the context of growing political tensions leading up to the 2027 general elections.
