Umahi Rejects Wike's Rainbow Coalition in Ebonyi State
David Umahi, the Minister of Works, declared that there is no "rainbow coalition" in Ebonyi State, asserting that the state remains aligned with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates. This statement came in response to political disagreements involving Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, regarding the Rainbow Coalition, a multi-party platform Wike is promoting to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027.
Umahi made these remarks during an inspection of the Calabar-Abuja Superhighway in Benue State. He clarified that while Wike is a friend, any political arrangement he proposes will not succeed in Ebonyi.
Umahi criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for failing to honor the interests of the South-East, stating that he left the party due to mistreatment. He welcomed political campaigns in Ebonyi but warned against hate speech and disorder, asserting that no one can incite crisis in the state.
