The lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has clarified that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, is supporting President Bola Tinubu, not the All Progressives Congress, APC. This clarification was made on Tuesday during an interview on TVC. Oshiomhole's remark comes amid a feud between Wike and APC governors, following the minister's description of some APC governors as "politically lazy."

The feud between Wike and the APC governors has been a subject of interest in the country's politics. Wike's comments on the APC governors sparked a reaction from the party. However, Oshiomhole emphasized that Wike's support for President Tinubu is unwavering. As a former Edo State governor, Oshiomhole is well-versed in the intricacies of Nigerian politics and has been a vocal supporter of President Tinubu.

Oshiomhole stressed that Wike, although not an APC member, has repeatedly expressed his support for President Tinubu's re-election. He noted that both Wike and the APC governors are committed to the same goal: supporting President Tinubu's re-election bid. This clarification comes as a relief to those who were concerned about the apparent rift between Wike and the APC.

According to Oshiomhole, there is no evidence to suggest that Wike or any other group is opposed to President Tinubu's re-election. Wike himself has publicly stated that he is not an APC member but has consistently expressed his support for the President. This has led to questions about Wike's relationship with the APC and his role in the party's affairs.

The dynamics between Wike and the APC governors have been a subject of discussion in the country's political landscape. While some have expressed concerns about Wike's comments on the APC governors, Oshiomhole has downplayed these concerns. He emphasized that Wike's support for President Tinubu is a positive development for the party.

Oshiomhole's comments have shed light on the intricacies of Nigerian politics, where alliances and rivalries can shift rapidly. As the country prepares for future elections, the relationships between key players like Wike, Oshiomhole, and President Tinubu will be closely watched. The President's re-election bid will likely face numerous challenges, and the support of key figures like Wike will be crucial.

The clarification by Oshiomhole has provided insight into Wike's stance on President Tinubu's re-election. As the political landscape continues to evolve, one thing is certain: the support of key figures like Wike will play a significant role in shaping the country's future. With the President's re-election bid on the horizon, all eyes will be on the alliances and rivalries that will shape the country's politics in the coming months.
