Orji Uzor Kalu Backs APC Governors Against Wike's Coalition
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, representing the Abia North senatorial district, has responded to the conflict between the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors’ Forum and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike. The APC governors have rejected Wike's Rainbow Coalition, which has been fielding alternative candidates in various states, arguing that this undermines the chances of APC candidates, including President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid.
Wike contends that the coalition fully supports Tinubu and criticizes some governors for not actively campaigning for him in 2023. In a video posted on his official Facebook page, Kalu expressed agreement with the governors' stance, stating that he would oppose any alternative candidates if he were a governor.
He called for both parties to reconcile and focus on grassroots campaigning, emphasizing the need for cooperation to support Tinubu's re-election in January 2027.
