Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Thursday dismissed reports of an alleged alliance between the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Wike described the claim as “Political 419.”
Speaking with reporters during an inspection of ongoing road projects in Gomani-Yangoje , Kwali Area Council, Abuja, the accused Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, of misleading Nigerians with claims of a PDP-APM alliance ahead of the 2027 elections.
He declared: “When I say people are fraudulent, they thought I was joking. And that’s the 419 we are talking about”.
Wike said both the PDP and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were not aware of the existence of such an alliance.
“There’s no alliance between PDP and Allied Peoples Movement (APM) or any other political party, as the case may be. INEC also knows that there’s nothing called PDP-APM alliance,” he stated.

“PDP has presented a presidential candidate and will watch out who will be submitted to INEC and see whether there’s anything called PDP-APM,” he added.
Wike further alleged that Makinde was pursuing his personal presidential ambition through the APM platform.
“What you have is Seyi Makinde joining APM to be able to actualize his presidential ambition, which is already dead-on arrival,” the minister said.
He insisted that Governor Bala Mohammed had never spoken of any PDP-APM alliance, adding that the narrative was merely a political imagination.
“It’s unfortunate. We know that has been his game plan and we would say he cannot fly the flag of PDP,” Wike said.
The minister also reacted to comments credited to the Governor of Rivers State concerning his continued membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the governor has not told anyone to pity him.
“Sorry for what? Why are you saying “problem when nobody has told you he has a problem?” Wike asked.
“The man has told you he still remains APC. So, what is the problem now?”
He maintained that issues concerning the governor’s standing within the APC remained the party’s internal affair.
“Ask me about PDP, I will answer you. Because how will you ask me whatever happens? Assuming he has a problem, it’s their internal affairs,” he stated.
