Wike Accuses APC Governors of Opposing Rainbow Coalition
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has identified three governors from the All Progressives Congress (APC) who are opposing his Rainbow Coalition in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections. During an interview on Journalist Hangout, a program on TVC, Wike named Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun as the primary opponents.
He expressed disbelief that these governors would travel to Abuja to complain about the coalition, which he views as a platform to garner support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election across various political parties. Wike noted that several other governors, including those from Adamawa, Edo, Kogi, Lagos, and Akwa Ibom states, do not oppose the Rainbow Coalition.
He specifically mentioned being surprised to see the Ondo State Governor among the dissenters.
