2027, No Technocrat Excuse! If You Can't Work for APC – GET OUT!" APC National Chairman Prof Yilwatda sent indirect Messages to FCT Minister Wike .

Nigerians, the APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has just set the political space on FIRE with his no-holds-barred declaration:

"There is nothing like technocrat so long as you are a political appointee!"

"If you cannot work for our party, then get out!"

"In 2027, you MUST be in the party to have a political appointment!"

This means from 2027 onward, no political appointment under APC – minister, board chairman, DG, aide – without being a registered, card-carrying APC member. No more "neutral professionals" allowed!

The viral video dropped on January 21, 2026, and it's already sparking massive reactions across the country.

But Here's the Juicy Part Everyone Is Talking About:

Many political observers and Nigerians online strongly believe the Chairman is indirectly targeting FCT Minister Nyesom Wike!

Why?

Wike, a PDP chieftain and former Rivers Governor, was appointed FCT Minister by President Tinubu despite never joining APC.

He has repeatedly insisted he's NOT an APC member and remains in PDP.

Yet he enjoys one of the most powerful positions in the government while openly staying "neutral" or loyal only to Tinubu personally.

With Rivers APC in crisis and Wike controlling key structures, many see this as a direct shot: "Join the party fully or lose your seat in 2027!"

Social media is buzzing:

"This message is for Wike loud and clear!"

"APC finally telling Wike: No more free ride!"

"If Wike doesn't decamp by 2027, FCT Minister post gone?"

Nigerians Reacting Wildly:

APC loyalists: "Yes! Time for full commitment. No more eating with both hands!"

PDP/Wike supporters: "Threatening Wike? He delivered Rivers structure – respect!"

Neutrals: "This exposes how personal loyalty trumps party in Nigerian politics."

Is this a strategic move to force Wike into APC ahead of 2027? Or a genuine party discipline drive that just happens to put Wike in the crosshairs?

One thing is clear: The Chairman has ignited a political earthquake!
