National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has clarified the party's position on the simmering political crisis involving Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his erstwhile godfather, who happened to be the incumbent Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, declaring that the minister is not in any way a problem to the ruling party.
Yilwatda stated this on Tuesday while speaking in an interview with Channels TV Politics Today, noting that the dispute between Wike, a member of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Governor Fubara, fell outside his jurisdiction as APC National Chairman.
"Wike is not a problem in APC. When it comes to the issue between Wike and Fubara, it’s not within my purview as the national Chairman of APC. Wike is in PDP, Fubara is in APC," he said.
The APC chieftain further explained that the ongoing impeachment issue pertains solely to APC members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, which is led by the party, describing such as an internal matter which he said APC had mechanism to resolve.
"The issue of impeachment is not about Wike now; it concerns APC House of Assembly members. That is something I can discuss. It’s an internal matter, and we have mechanisms within APC to resolve such issues," he said.
Yilwatda emphasized the need for discretion and maturity in handling internal party matters, saying that such issues should not be put in public domain.
"We don’t put these discussions in the public. Issues can be resolved through in-house activities that require maturity to address. Wike is not a problem in APC," he said.
