Nnamani Defends Wike's Coalition Support for Tinubu
Chief Samson Chukwu Nnamani, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, criticized the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governors Forum's stance against the Rainbow Coalition led by Nyesom Wike. He argued that support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's 2027 re-election should extend beyond APC members.
Nnamani emphasized that Wike's support for Tinubu does not necessitate abandoning their political parties, as Nigeria's multiparty democracy allows for diverse political affiliations. He referenced the 1999 Constitution, highlighting the rights to freedom of expression and association.
Nnamani urged APC governors to differentiate between supporting a presidential candidate and engaging in partisan contests for other political offices. He clarified that the Rainbow Coalition is a platform for mobilizing support for Tinubu's re-election, not a merger or defection, and reiterated that Wike had previously supported Tinubu while remaining a member of the PDP.
