Wike Advocates for Coalition Model to Enhance Political Unity

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, called on other states to adopt the Rainbow Coalition model utilized in the FCT and Rivers State during an engagement with political leaders, traditional rulers, women, and youths in Kuje Area Council. Wike stated that this model has fostered political cooperation, peace, and stability among politicians from different parties, specifically the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.

He noted that the coalition allows for collective decision-making and aims to promote inclusive representation. Wike cited former FCT Senator Philip Aduda as an example of effective representation, highlighting the need for elected officials to understand their constituents' everyday experiences.

He cautioned Kuje residents against repeating past political mistakes in the 2023 elections, urging them to prioritize accessibility, accountability, and performance when selecting representatives. Wike called for sustained political cooperation as the country approaches the 2027 general elections.
