Renewed Hope Ambassadors Warn Wike on 2027 Election Moves

The State Coordinators of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors issued a public warning to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike regarding his political maneuvers that could jeopardize the loyalty of APC governors to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the lead-up to the 2027 presidential election. In a signed statement, the group expressed concerns about Wike's Rainbow Coalition, labeling it a parallel political structure that may compete with the APC's grassroots machinery.

They supported the Progressive Governors Forum's stance that APC governors' campaign responsibilities extend to both President Tinubu and APC candidates at all levels for the 2027 elections. While acknowledging Wike's intention to use the coalition to enhance the President's re-election prospects, they cautioned that it could become problematic if it competes with APC structures.

The group also noted the existing mobilization network across Nigeria and urged Wike to support President Tinubu without undermining APC governors or candidates.
