Abdullahi Sule Questions Nyesom Wike's Coalition Plans

On September 22, 2026, Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule publicly questioned the purpose of the Rainbow Coalition promoted by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections. Sule's comments were made during a TVC interview, where he expressed relief that he was not included in Wike's list of APC governors opposed to the coalition.

He noted that Wike, not being an APC member, raises questions about the essence of such an alliance. Wike had identified three APC governors—Hope Uzodimma of Imo State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State, and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State—as opponents of his political activities.

Wike's coalition aims to mobilize support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election across party lines, which the APC governors, led by Uzodimma, have opposed, asserting that it could undermine the party's candidates. Wike clarified that his support for Tinubu does not equate to abandoning other party candidates in the upcoming elections.
