Olesin Defends Wike Coalition Against APC Governors' Stance

Tajudeen Olesin, a former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, expressed that governors elected under the APC cannot dictate the political alliances that President Bola Tinubu should pursue for the 2027 general elections. Olesin, who recently defected to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made these remarks in response to the APC Governors’ Forum's stance against the Nyesom Wike-led Rainbow Coalition.
He emphasized that political actors have the constitutional right to form alliances and support candidates of their choice. The APC Governors’ Forum had declared that its members would not endorse any political arrangement that could weaken the party or undermine Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Olesin urged APC governors to focus on their governance records instead of opposing new political alliances, challenging them to demonstrate how state resources have improved citizens' lives. He concluded that the ultimate decision on political alliances rests with the Nigerian populace.
