Tinubu <\/a>administration.<\/p>\nThe APC Forum stressed that it has no interest in the political crisis in Rivers State, as, according to it, its only concern was the development of the FCT and by extension, the North-Central.<\/p>\n
The group equally stated that it has no interest in joining issues with the APC leaders who have called for Wike\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n
However, it warned those behind the calls to desist, advising them to avoid mass protests in the FCT.<\/p>\n
The statement read in part, \u201cThe North-Central All Progressives Congress, APC, Forum rejects calls for the resignation of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike. The minister is performing well in the FCT under an APC administration, and we frown at such calls, especially as it concerns the development of the FCT, which is part of the North-Central.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cSome people stayed eight years as FCT minister without anything to show for it but under two years Wike has turned the FCT around. Yet some people who we believe are serving their selfish interests are calling for his resignation. This is highly condemnable and we will not allow it, even if the calls are coming from leaders of the party.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cIt is wrong for anybody who is considered as a party leader to be calling for Wike\u2019s resignation on the grounds that he is not a member of the APC.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe don\u2019t want to join issues with the persons that are making these calls but we advise them to back off.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWike is somebody that has added value to this administration, especially when it comes to infrastructural development in the FCT. It is offensive and deeply worrisome to us that people who are supposed to be leaders of the party, particularly the national secretary and the national chairman, are antagonizing him by asking him to resign.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe believe that those making this call, as well as others calling for Wike\u2019s sack, do not mean well for President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration. They also do not want the development of this country.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAs for us in the North-Central APC Forum, what we are after is the development of our region, and we know that Mr President is only interested in the development of the country, to which Wike is contributing a lot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
