Wike Defends Rainbow Coalition, Criticizes Opposition in Abuja
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, spoke during a media chat in Abuja, where he launched a strong critique against opposition to the Rainbow Coalition. He labeled those opposing the coalition as "baby politicians," emphasizing that their stance reflects a lack of political maturity.
Wike stated that there would be no confusion regarding the coalition's backing for President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 elections. He referenced historical instances of successful cross-party alliances in Nigeria's electoral history.
Wike instructed his supporters to not only support President Tinubu in the 2027 polls but also to back their own candidates for the National Assembly elections. He questioned the rationale behind the opposition to the Rainbow Coalition, asserting that it is crucial for political recognition and success.
