Wike Snubs Uzodimma at APC Event Over Coalition Dispute
On Wednesday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly refused to shake hands with Hope Uzodimma, the Governor of Imo State, during the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja. This incident followed a rift between the two politicians, stemming from Uzodimma's attempts to dissuade All Progressives Congress (APC) governors from backing Wike's Rainbow Coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
Wike expressed his disdain for dealing with individuals he perceives as insincere, asserting that the Rainbow Coalition is a permanent fixture in Nigerian politics. He recalled his past support for Uzodimma during his second-term campaign against a PDP candidate, emphasizing that he only collaborates with straightforward individuals.
During his speech at the event, Wike urged that those who fail to deliver their states for Bola Ahmed Tinubu should not claim victory after the elections.
