Uzodimma Asserts No Rainbow Coalition for Tinubu's 2027 Bid

On October 27, 2026, Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma declared that there is no rainbow coalition in Imo State, urging members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to collaborate for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. Speaking at the distribution of campaign vehicles under the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Uzodimma warned that vehicles would be reclaimed if members worked outside the APC.

He stated that the movement aims to publicize Tinubu’s achievements and mobilize support for his second term. Uzodimma acknowledged that while Tinubu's administration has made progress, more work is necessary.

He also praised High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, for supporting the movement. The governor emphasized the importance of supporting APC candidates across all levels of government, asserting that the party has no alternative in the state.

This statement comes amid tensions between APC governors and Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, regarding his Rainbow Coalition, which seeks cross-party support for Tinubu’s re-election.
