2027: Adeleke belongs to us – Wike hints at largest rainbow coalition for Tinubu

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has hinted at forming the "largest rainbow coalition" to back President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign in 2027, according to reports. Wike made the comment while discussing Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke's recent visit to his residence in Abuja. He stated that Adeleke now aligns with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and believes the opposition will struggle to prevent Tinubu from winning.

Wike is confident that the 2027 election will be a "walkover," asserting that the opposition parties will have little impact. The DAILY POST reports that Adeleke, who was re-elected as Osun State governor recently, has pledged his support for President Tinubu. Adeleke, along with his nephew and renowned Afrobeat artist David Adeleke, also known as Davido, met with Wike in Abuja after receiving his Certificate of Return.
