Wike Hosts Rivers APC Delegates Ahead of National Convention

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Thursday hosted delegates from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State at his residence in Abuja, as the party prepares for its national convention.

The meeting brought together key figures from the APC’s Rivers State chapter, including the newly returned APC National Vice Chairman (South‑South), Victor Giadom, senators, members of the House of Representatives, and lawmakers from the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Several other APC leaders from Rivers State were also present at the gathering, which took place just days before the party’s national convention scheduled to hold this Friday and Saturday in Abuja.

Although Wike is not a registered member of the APC, the meeting underscored his continued influence and engagement with delegates of the ruling party ahead of critical political proceedings.

Wike’s involvement in APC affairs comes amid ongoing political realignments, particularly in the South‑South geopolitical zone where the Rivers Power Bloc remains a significant force. Political analysts say such cross‑party interactions reflect the complex dynamics within Nigeria’s political landscape as major parties intensify preparations for upcoming national events.

Observers note that the meeting could be part of broader strategic engagements designed to build consensus and ensure strong participation by Rivers delegates at the APC national convention.

As Nigeria’s political calendar heats up with conventions and primary activities on the horizon, attention remains focused on how leaders like Wike continue to influence party dynamics across political divides.
