Nigeria: All I Want to Hear in Rivers Is Tinubu - Wike Says in Meeting With Fubara Supporters
- On Tuesday, the Kabiru Tanimu Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party vowed never to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027, rejecting calls by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to collapse party structures.
- Wike is championing a 'Rainbow Coalition' to mobilize support for President Tinubu, a move the faction describes as a 'political anomaly' threatening electoral democracy.
- The group stated, "The true and principled members of the Peoples Democratic Party are not part of the self-serving support for the APC-led Federal Government and its destructive policies," distancing themselves from Wike.
- APC governors including Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun oppose the coalition, accusing the minister of acting for "selfish reasons."
- The faction awaits a Court of Appeal judgment to determine party leadership, urging members to remain steadfast as the 2027 election provides an opportunity to vote out current political actors.
