Wike Defends Rainbow Coalition Against Political Critics

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, criticized politicians who oppose his Rainbow Coalition, calling them greedy and selfish. He argued that these critics lack the ability to unite even their families and communities.

Wike made these statements on Monday in Abuja during the commissioning of the Gwagwalada Civic Centre and an interactive session with stakeholders from the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party in Gwagwalada Area Council. He described the Rainbow Coalition as an alliance aimed at fostering unity, cooperation, and development in the FCT.

Wike challenged his critics to explain why political leaders from opposing factions have failed to set aside their differences for common interests. He emphasized the need for cooperation among political actors in the FCT and urged residents to avoid repeating the mistakes of the 2023 general elections by electing credible representatives to the National Assembly.
