The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Monday, protested the recent appointments by the minister of the FCT, Barr. Nyesom Wike.
As reported by The Punch, the aggrieved APC leaders said Barr. Wike was obsessed with engaging his People’s Democratic Party (PDP) loyalists at the expense of their members in the territory.
The FCT APC chieftains, at a media parley held at the Secretariat of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), in Abuja, called on President Bola Tinubu to caution the former governor of Rivers state before he destroyed his political structure in the nation’s capital.
Recall that Barr. Wike had come under heavy fire over his choice of appointments since he assumed office. Recall that Wike appointed Hon. Chidi Amadi as his Chief of Staff.

The Minister had said that this appointment was to improve the overall performance and productivity of the FCT Administration.
Also, President Tinubu appointed Felix Amaechi Obuah as Coordinator of the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council, among others.
These appointments have continued to irk APC members, especially indigenes of the FCT. An APC chieftain in the FCT, Abdulwahab Ekekhide, on Monday, described the appointments as ‘lopsided’ in utter disregard for FCT members of the Party who contributed to the electoral victory of the president.
He noted that if nothing is done, the APC will struggle to win the FCT in the 2027 general election.
