In a candid interview on News Central TV, the former Organising Secretary of the All Progressive Congress in Kaduna State, Sam Yohana attributed Senator Ireti Kingibe's public disagreement with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to a political rift involving former Senator Philip Aduda.
He suggested that Wike's close relationship with Aduda implied that Wike would support Aduda's potential bid for the senate in 2027, which would likely affect Kingibe's own political career.
He explained that Kingibe's frustration with this perceived alliance led her to voice her concerns, which resulted in a retaliation from Wike.
He said, "With Aduda always hanging around the Minister (Nyesom Wike), it is sending a message that 2027, the honourable minister of FCT will do the bidding for Philip Aduda. And Aduda as we all know is eager to come back to the senate. So, she (Ireti Kingibe) couldn't control or hold herself back, she had to come out and voice her displeasure. I think the minister (Wike) didn't like the way she went about it, he now throws it back at her."
