Rainbow Coalition Not Designed To Weaken APC – Wike
Wike says the coalition is meant to mobilise Tinubu supporters and dismissed claims it would weaken the APC.
- FCT Minister Nyesom Wike faces backlash from the Progressive Governors Forum over his Rainbow Coalition, a cross-party movement supporting President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election that governors fear undermines the APC's unified campaign structure.
- Former House member Abdulmumin Jibrin defended Wike as an 'asset' to the APC on Wednesday, urging party leaders to manage the dispute diplomatically because the Minister has sacrificed significantly for President Tinubu's administration.
- Dismissing the opposition, Wike claimed Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and Ogun Governor Dapo Abiodun oppose his coalition for 'selfish reasons' tied to securing legislative tickets in 2027.
- Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal demanded Wike clarify his political allegiance, stating he cannot support both the APC and other parties simultaneously; Lawal said he will discuss the matter with President Tinubu upon his return.
- Despite ongoing party friction, Wike announced plans to personally lead Tinubu's campaign machinery in Abuja and Rivers State, arguing that the administration's infrastructure projects will be the primary driver of electoral success in 2027.
