Rainbow Coalition Not Designed To Weaken APC – Wike
Wike said the coalition is meant to boost Tinubu’s 2027 bid as APC governors warned it could split the party and create a parallel campaign structure.
- FCT Minister Nyesom Wike faces mounting opposition from APC governors over his Rainbow Coalition, a multi-party group mobilizing support for President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid.
- The Progressive Governors Forum, chaired by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, opposes the coalition, arguing it creates parallel campaign structures undermining APC control in the 2027 elections.
- Wike named Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun as primary opponents, claiming they oppose the coalition for "selfish reasons."
- House of Representatives member Abdulmumin Jibrin defended Wike as an "asset" to the APC, urging the party to negotiate rather than wage public disputes over the coalition.
- Wike argues the coalition is strategically necessary, contending politicians should align with the PDP supporting President Bola Tinubu rather than join opposition parties like the ADC or NDC.
