Tension Between Fubara And Wike Falls Outside The Party’s Jurisdiction – APC National Chairman
The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has said the political tension between Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), and Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers State, falls outside the party’s jurisdiction.
Yilwatda stated this on Tuesday during an interview on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, noting that the APC leadership has no mandate to intervene in the dispute because the two actors belong to different political parties.
“When it comes to the issue between Wike and Fubara, it is not within my purview as national chairman of the APC. Wike is in the PDP, while Fubara is in the APC,” he said.
He explained that the impeachment controversy in Rivers State is strictly an internal matter involving APC members of the state house of assembly and not Wike. According to Yilwatda, the party has established mechanisms for resolving such disputes.
“The issue of impeachment is not about Wike. It concerns APC members in the house of assembly. That is something I can speak on. It is an internal issue, and we have in-house mechanisms to resolve it,” he said.
