Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has mocked the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the reported appointment of former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, as campaign coordinator for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Rivers State ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Fayose, in a video shared on his verified Facebook page, claimed that the APC was already confused ahead of the elections, saying the party’s recent political moves would not weaken the momentum of the Obidient movement or the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

He said the reported appointment of Wike was an indication of the party’s uncertainty about its political strategy ahead of the 2027 polls.

“The situation is critical for the APC. Early this morning, they weakly announced Wike to head the campaign in Rivers State and Abuja, just after my video. If you can’t convince them, you can confuse them. They are already confused,” Fayose said.

He further claimed that five APC governors whom he had earlier alleged were backing the NDC remained supportive of the opposition movement.

“My Obidients, the five governors I earlier said are still with us. They are standing with us. We are going to defeat Wike in Rivers and in Abuja. If they like, let them appoint him and reappoint him,” he said.

Fayose also expressed confidence that the political movement would defeat the APC in both Rivers State and the FCT, claiming that the group was already stronger in the two areas.

“He will lose in Abuja. He will lose in Rivers because already we are stronger in Rivers and Abuja than the APC,” he added.

Fayose had previously alleged that five APC governors were secretly supporting the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections, although the claim has not been independently established.

The reported appointment of Wike comes amid increasing political realignments and manoeuvring by political parties and blocs ahead of the 2027 elections.
