Wike says Kwara governor accuses him of snakes, missed meals

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike said earlier today that Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq blames him for various mishaps, claiming whenever he sees a snake or reptile, or doesn't eat, he says "It is Wike." Wike made the remarks during an Arise Television Prime Time interview on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, adding that Abdulrazaq focuses more on gossip than on governing and has replaced all his senators and House of Representatives members.

This exchange highlights rising tensions within the APC and between federal and state officials, which could affect party cohesion ahead of the 2027 elections. It also shows how personal rivalries may distract from governance in Kwara State and the FCT, potentially impacting service delivery and political stability in north-central Nigeria.

Readers should watch for official responses from the Kwara State government or APC leadership, and consider whether this feud translates into policy disagreements or affects regional projects. The situation underscores the need to prioritize governance over political point-scoring.
