Wike Affirms Support for Uzodinma Amid Political Rift
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly addressed his support for Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma during a media chat in Abuja. Wike revealed that he backed Uzodinma's re-election against Sam Anyanwu, the former National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who was the PDP candidate in the election.
Wike criticized individuals he perceives as insincere and asserted that the Rainbow Coalition he formed is established and enduring. This statement comes in light of a recent fallout between Wike and Uzodinma, which arose from Uzodinma's attempts to persuade All Progressives Congress (APC) governors to withdraw their support for Wike's coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
Wike emphasized his commitment to working with straightforward individuals, indicating a clear rift in their political relationship.
