Ondo Governor Aiyedatiwa Supports Wike's Coalition Efforts

Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has publicly endorsed the Rainbow Coalition associated with Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, emphasizing the legitimacy of political alliances among different parties based on shared interests. During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Aiyedatiwa clarified that his support for Wike does not signify a departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserting that his political structure in Ondo State remains firmly aligned with the APC.

He stated, “In my state, it is APC all the way,” while acknowledging his relationship with Wike. Aiyedatiwa argued that political relationships across party lines are common and beneficial when interests align.

He compared the Rainbow Coalition to various support groups campaigning for President Tinubu’s re-election, asserting that such coalitions are legitimate forms of political support. The governor's remarks come amid internal disagreements within the APC regarding the coalition's impact on the party's electoral prospects.
