Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike has claimed that two All Progressives Congress (APC) governors, Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State, are actively working against him and have failed to return the political support he previously extended to them. Speaking during a media interaction in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Wike singled out Governor Abdulrazaq as the leader of an active campaign against him, noting that he has already confronted him directly over the issue.

Adebayo Mutalubi Ojo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and former Oyo State Commissioner for Justice, has cautioned that Governor Seyi Makinde is likely to face a mass withdrawal of support from key political allies ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking on the political podcast OpenForum360, Ojo noted that the true political dynamics in the state will surface by December 2026, claiming that many politicians currently pledging loyalty to Makinde are merely biding their time before openly opposing his preferred gubernatorial successor, Bimbo Adekanmbi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The former commissioner pointed out that while Makinde’s high popularity remains his greatest political asset, it could simultaneously turn into a heavy liability. Because Adekanmbi is heavily backed by the governor, Ojo likened their political alignment to “Siamese twins,” warning that Adekanmbi will inevitably inherit both Makinde’s political goodwill and his adversaries. He further criticized the internal handling of party politics, suggesting that a transparent and democratic primary process within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might have altered the turbulent reactions surrounding the choice of successor.

Drawing comparisons to internal fissures within the All Progressives Congress (APC)—where figures like Adebayo Adelabu, Senator Buhari, and others have navigated distinct political positions—Ojo asserted that many within Makinde’s camp are masking their true reservations. He warned that similar quiet discontent previously led to severe electoral consequences for ruling parties in places like Osun State. Concluding his assessment, Ojo expressed personal regard for Adekanmbi as a friend, but cautioned that the inner circle surrounding the candidate risks insulating him from harsh political realities.
