Olayinka Clears The Air: Wike’s Appointment by Tinubu Is For Nigeria, Not APC Agendas

had accused Wike of exacerbating the party’s internal crisis after his appointment by President Bola Tinubu.

Olayinka dismissed these allegations, stressing that Wike is serving Nigeria, not the All Progressives Congress (APC). He explained that, unlike in a parliamentary system, the President has the right to appoint ministers from across political parties in a presidential system, and Wike had notified PDP of his appointment before accepting it.

He emphasized that Wike’s service in the cabinet is not indicative of working for the ruling APC, drawing comparisons with other political figures, such as Daniel Bwala, a former aide to PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, who was appointed by Tinubu despite his past criticisms.

Olayinka concluded by stating that, for now, the focus is on governance, not politics, as the PDP currently has no candidate for the 2027 elections.
