Wike Critiques APC Governors on Rainbow Coalition Concerns
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), criticized the Progressives Governors Forum, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, regarding their concerns about the Rainbow Coalition in Rivers State. The APC Governors Forum warned that the coalition could jeopardize President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 and undermine the chances of APC candidates.
Uzodimma emphasized that the governors would only support candidates sponsored by the ruling party and would not endorse any political arrangement that could create divided loyalties. In response, Wike questioned the validity of the APC governors' concerns, citing examples of opposition governors like Soludo, Adeleke, and Alex Otti, who support President Tinubu while still backing their party candidates for the National Assembly elections.
Wike argued that the APC governors' stance has no substantial basis.
