Wike dismisses PDP and APM alliance

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has dismissed the alleged alliance between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

Wike, a former Rivers State governor, told journalists after inspecting the ongoing 13-kilometre Gomani to Yangoje road project in Kwali Area Council, Abuja, on Thursday, that the narrative on the alliance  between PDP and APM was merely a political imagination.

He said both the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were not aware of the existence of such an alliance.

APM and PDP sealed their alliance at a unity rally held on Thursday in Ibadan.

“There’s no alliance between PDP and APM or any other political party, as the case may be. INEC also knows that there’s nothing called the PDP-APM alliance.

“The ongoing political activities within the PDP, including the screening of aspirants, clearly showed that the party remained independent and had not entered into any coalition arrangement.

“PDP has presented a presidential candidate. Watch out who will be submitted to INEC and see whether there’s anything called PDP-APM,” he added.

The minister also alleged that the gathering in Ibadan was facilitated by the Oyo Stare Governor, Seyi Makinde, to pursue  his presidential ambition under the APM platform.

“What you have is Makinde joining APM to be able to actualise his presidential ambition, which is already dead on arrival,” the minister added.
