Rainbow Coalition Not Designed To Weaken APC – Wike

Abdulmumin Jibrin says Wike has helped deliver support for President Bola Tinubu and should be treated as an APC asset.

  • On Monday, Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike defended his 'Rainbow Coalition,' a cross-party movement supporting President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election, amid escalating tensions with the Progressive Governors Forum.
  • The Progressive Governors Forum, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, rejected the coalition, arguing it could destabilize the party by creating competing political interests ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
  • During a television interview, Wike named Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun as his primary opponents, claiming they oppose the movement for "selfish reasons."
  • Federal lawmaker Abdulmumin Jibrin described Wike as an "asset" to the APC, urging governors to negotiate with the minister instead of engaging in public media wars that could destabilize party unity.
  • Reports of potential internal crisis indicate the ongoing friction might drive aggrieved members to seek alternative alliances, complicating the APC's goal of a unified campaign structure for the 2027 elections.
