APC Chapters Reject Nyesom Wike's Rainbow Coalition
Multiple state chapters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have expressed their rejection of the Rainbow Coalition initiated by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, amid ongoing political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections. In Imo State, APC Publicity Secretary Jones Onwuasoanya criticized Wike for not formally aligning with the APC, stating that anyone claiming allegiance to a party should fully commit to it.
He dismissed the Rainbow Coalition as irrelevant in Imo State, asserting that the APC remains the only viable political platform. Similarly, Gombe APC Publicity Secretary Murtala Usman urged Wike to complete his transition to the APC, warning that the coalition could create confusion within the party.
In Ondo State, APC Secretary Alex Kalejaiye rejected the coalition's proposal to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu while backing candidates from other parties, calling it unacceptable. The APC chapters are confident in their electoral chances for 2027, asserting that no external political arrangements pose a threat.
