The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Vanguard for Tinubu 2027 has called for the immediate removal of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike, accusing him of persistent interference in the internal affairs of the ruling party.
The call was made on Tuesday following an emergency meeting of the group in Abuja, chaired by its leader, Dr. Emmanuel Johnson, with Comrade Iliyasu Adamu Ibrahim serving as Secretary General. The youth group said its position was necessitated by what it described as repeated actions by the FCT Minister that undermine party unity and discipline.
Speaking to journalists after the meeting, the APC Youth Vanguard cited the recent public clash between Barrister Wike and the APC National Secretary as evidence that the minister lacks the moral and political authority to influence the party’s internal processes.
The group stressed that Wike is not a member of the APC and therefore has no legitimacy to interfere in the party’s affairs or attempt to shape its leadership and policy directions.
Reaffirming its loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the youth organization said it remains fully committed to the President’s 2027 political agenda, noting that it aligns with the collective position of the APC leadership and governors on maintaining party cohesion.

According to the group, the APC should concentrate on consolidating the achievements of the Tinubu administration without distractions from individuals “who are not card-carrying members of the party.”
The APC Youth Vanguard further urged party leaders to take decisive steps to protect the integrity of the party and ensure unity ahead of future political engagements, warning that continued interference could weaken internal harmony within the ruling party.
