APC's Nwoye Dismisses Wike's Rainbow Coalition Proposal

Dr. Ben Nwoye, the Deputy National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed his rejection of the cross-party "Rainbow Coalition" proposed by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Nwoye articulated concerns that such political cooperation could lead to complications in voter support for candidates across different parties during the upcoming elections.

He emphasized that the APC expects its members to support its candidates uniformly. Wike has clarified that his support for President Tinubu does not imply an agreement with the APC and maintains that the PDP can still field candidates while collaborating with members of other parties.

Nwoye also addressed comments from Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo regarding cooperation among progressive forces, asserting that practical arrangements should reflect such cooperation, rather than mere statements of support.
