Wike said the party should stop blaming him for its internal issues, insisting that the ADC is already heading towards political failure on its own.

The ADC had alleged that FCT authorities denied it access to venues for its convention and attempted to stop the use of the Rainbow Event Centre before the event eventually held there.

Reacting, Wike said investigations have already been launched into the matter and directed his Chief of Staff to identify any staff member involved in the alleged interference.

He stated: “We will not allow people to just wake up and say the FCT Minister did this or that. I have told my Chief of Staff to find out from the company which staff member interfered. We will get to the bottom of this.”

Meanwhile, Wike also commented on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s political ambitions, saying he would have to wait until 2031 to contest for the presidency.

He said there is “no space” for Atiku in 2027, adding that he could try again in 2031 when he would be 82 years old.

Wike made the remarks during an inspection of ongoing road projects in Kuje Area Council on Thursday, while also criticising Atiku’s repeated attacks on the current administration and insisting that President Bola Tinubu has performed better than previous leadership.

The move comes amid increasing political activities within the ruling party as preparations for the 2027 governorship election intensify.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesperson, Gbenga Ogunleye, Jandor reaffirmed that no consensus candidate has been adopted within the Lagos APC.

He cited the position of the state party leadership, insisting that all aspirants will participate in a credible primary election.

The statement read in part that “no aspirant has been anointed,” stressing that the selection process will be determined through party primaries.

Despite this, Jandor expressed readiness to support any consensus decision reached by the party, saying he remains committed to the party’s collective choice, regardless of the outcome.

He also confirmed that he remains active in the race, noting that he has intensified consultations across Lagos State to strengthen grassroots support.

According to him, ongoing engagements are aimed at building broader backing within the party and consolidating his political structure.

Jandor further warned against misinterpreting personal endorsements or campaign activities as official party positions.

Meanwhile, Lagos State Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat has also stepped up consultations ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

Hamzat recently met with members of the GAC and other party leaders during a visit to elder statesman Tajudeen Olusi in Lagos, alongside prominent figures such as Mutiu Are, Musiliu Obanikoro, and Bode Oyedele.

He said the discussions focused on the future direction of Lagos State and the type of leadership needed for continued development.

Hamzat described the consultations as part of ongoing efforts to engage stakeholders, listen to advice, and collaborate for better governance in the state.
