The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has cautioned members of his political party against engaging in avoidable internal conflicts, stressing that politics must be approached with clear strategy rather than treated as a profit-driven venture.
Nyesom Wike also threw jibes at Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde for engaging in a political battle with him.
Wike gave the warning during a recent political engagement, where he expressed concern over rising tensions and divisions among party loyalists. According to him, unnecessary political battles weaken party cohesion and distract from the broader objective of governance and electoral success. He emphasized that discipline and calculated engagement remain critical in sustaining political relevance.
The former Rivers State governor further noted that politics is not a business enterprise where individuals pursue personal gains at the expense of collective interest. He urged party members to prioritize unity, loyalty, and long-term planning, warning that reckless political confrontations could undermine the party’s strength ahead of future elections.
Wike also advised stakeholders to focus on building strong alliances and adopting strategic thinking in navigating Nigeria’s complex political landscape. He reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening party structures and ensuring that internal disagreements are resolved through dialogue rather than public disputes.
