Oyo state governor Seyi Makinde’s special adviser, Dare Adeleke, has accused the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, of masterminding a plot to “destroy and eliminate all opposition parties” in the country.

Adeleke said Wike plans to make the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) the sole political party in Nigeria.

Makinde’s SA on Federal Constituency Matters alleged that Wike’s actions are part of a broader scheme to secure President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

As reported by The Punch, Adeleke described Wike’s persistent attacks on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership as “undemocratic and arrogant,”

“As former governor of Rivers State and now Minister of the FCT, he appears to have turned governance into a personal enterprise. I believe President Bola Tinubu should call him to order.”

“How can someone, over personal grievances, seek to destroy political parties? If Wike wanted APC to be the only party in Nigeria, he would have achieved that by now,”

Adeleke further stated that Wike had taken a troubling turn, marked by dishonesty and a growing trust deficit among key PDP stakeholders.

Adeleke further accused Wike of “speaking from both sides of his mouth”.

He lashed out at Wike for blaming Governor Makinde for allegedly frustrating reconciliation efforts and portraying him as the architect of the PDP’s internal challenges.
