Senate Backs Tinubu's Rainbow Coalition for 2027 Elections

On October 14, the Senate declared that the rainbow coalition integrated into the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on track to achieve victory in the 2027 elections. Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele and President Godswill Akpabio made remarks following an early adjournment to attend the campaign council's inauguration at the Presidential Villa.

Bamidele highlighted the coalition's historic significance, noting its diverse membership, including Charles Soludo (APGA), Ademola Adeleke (Accord), Nyesom Wike (PDP), and Ibrahim Dankwabo (Gombe North). Akpabio echoed this sentiment, stating that this coalition represents a unity government, unprecedented since 1999, and aims to foster inclusivity across Nigeria's political landscape.

He emphasized that the coalition signifies a commitment to unity and democratic ideals, although he refrained from predicting the election outcome.
