Wike Critiques Uzodinma, Defends Rainbow Coalition Support
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, criticized Hope Uzodinma, the Governor of Imo State and Chairman of the APC Governors Forum, suggesting he should be grateful that Wike is not a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). This remark came in response to the APC governors' decision to reject Wike's Rainbow Coalition, which he is promoting to mobilize support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027.
Wike clarified that while he supports Tinubu, he does not intend to join the APC. He emphasized that his coalition is not designed to undermine the APC but to gather support across various political parties for the President.
Wike pointed out that supporting Tinubu does not necessitate backing APC candidates in other elections, referencing governors from different parties who also support Tinubu without abandoning their party affiliations.
