Tinubu: A Leader of Nigeria beyond APC, says Wike

Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, affirmed on Thursday that President Bola Tinubu is not only the leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) but a leader of the entire nation.

Wike made this statement when he received APC leaders from Rivers State, led by the National Vice Chairman of APC, South-South, Mr. Victor Giadom, during their visit to him in Abuja.

Wike acknowledged that the president has the right to prioritize the interests of his political party, but he emphasized that President Tinubu must also consider the broader interests of all Nigerians.

“Mr. President, having emerged, is not just the president of the APC but a president of Nigeria. While the president is governing the country, he must also consider the interests of his political party. Nobody can stop that; it is natural,” Wike stated.

In his statement, Wike highlights the balance between political party interests and the broader national interests that the President must consider while steering the affairs of Nigeria.
