A former spokesman to President Bola Tinubu, Denge Josef Onoh, says some governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) oppose Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister. Onoh argues the opposition stems from Wike’s long-standing approach to politics rather than a single dispute.
Across the reports, Onoh describes Wike as repeatedly confronting opponents and mobilising political alliances in ways that, in his view, unsettle existing political structures. He also links the current disagreements between the FCT minister and certain APC governors to this established pattern, characterising the relationship as one marked by confrontation and efforts to weaken or disrupt political arrangements held by others.
While the outlets focus on Onoh’s explanation, they largely agree on the key elements: he is identified as a former Tinubu campaign spokesman, the disagreement involves Wike and APC governors, and the rationale he gives is rooted in Wike’s perceived history of alliance-building and confrontational political tactics. The articles do not add specifics on policy disagreements or provide direct responses from the governors or Wike.
