Ahead of the 2027 general elections, businessman Isaac Fayose has claimed that five APC governors elected on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform are secretly supporting the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Fayose made the claim in a recent video posted on his social media accounts, alleging that the governors had promised to provide financial support for the NDC’s election campaign.
He said the governors would not openly support the NDC or make public statements in favour of the party because they belong to the APC.
“We now have five APC governors supporting the NDC in this election. They are not going to come out to campaign for us. They are not going to say anything in public that will favour us, but underneath, they promised us to sponsor this election, and their request is very simple.
“The request is, they don’t want Wike to win FCT for APC; they don’t want Wike to win Rivers State for APC, I said to them in the meeting, Wike is not popular here in Abuja; APC is not popular here in Abuja.
“APC is not popular in Rivers; their game plan is to carry our ballot, their game plan is to announce the result, and they said yes, they know and what they want is they don’t want to be able to write those results.
“So they are offering all our polling agents in Rivers and FCT two hundred thousand per polling unit; if you can stand together against rigging, they are willing to give you two hundred thousand naira each.
“They don’t want their names to be in public because they are members of the APC.
Backstory…
Fayose’s claims comes just weeks after Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, accused Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma and Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of conspiring against him.
Speaking at a media conference in Port Harcourt early in September, the former Rivers State governor said the two governors had failed to reciprocate his support.
Wike said he had confronted Abdulrazaq over his attitude and accused him of leading a campaign against him.
The minister also a swipe at APC governor, describing them as “politically lazy”
