Wike Supports Coalition for Tinubu's Re-election Efforts

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, defended the Rainbow Coalition formed to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election during a media parley in Abuja. He stated that the coalition is intended to bolster support for the president rather than weaken the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Wike dismissed concerns regarding potential divisions within the ruling party or issues for APC governors. He explained that the coalition aims to unite APC members and supporters from other political parties to work towards the common goal of re-electing Tinubu.

Wike emphasized that support for the president should not be limited to APC members, as individuals from diverse political backgrounds can contribute positively to his re-election efforts. He remarked, “Whatever we are going to do, whoever has any idea or anything to contribute is to the success of Mr President,” asserting that there are no significant concerns regarding the coalition's impact on the APC.
