Ondo Governor Aiyedatiwa Backs APC Amid Wike's Coalition
Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Governor of Ondo State, clarified his political stance regarding Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and the Rainbow Coalition, a cross-party political platform backing President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid. Aiyedatiwa stated that he has no issues with Wike or the coalition, emphasizing that his political allegiance in Ondo remains firmly with the APC.
He acknowledged the rejection of the Rainbow Coalition by the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), which argued that such alliances could undermine Tinubu's re-election efforts. Despite this, Wike has reiterated his commitment to supporting Tinubu's candidacy.
During an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Aiyedatiwa noted that politics is about interests and relationships, and he sees no problem with the Rainbow Coalition if its goal is to support the President. He affirmed, “In my state, it is APC all the way,” while maintaining a good relationship with Wike.
