2027: APC governors reject Wike’s Rainbow Coalition
“The APC Governors Forum unanimously resolved that its members will not participate in, support or endorse any alliance or political arrangement capable of undermining the re-election of Mr President, weakening the APC or adversely affecting any candidate of the party at all levels.” The post 2027: APC governors reject Wike’s Rainbow Coalition appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria .
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and All Progressives Congress governors have engaged in a dispute over the Rainbow Coalition. Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, representing Wike, contends that any alliance could potentially weaken President Tinubu's re-election chances or undermine the party's position for the 2031 elections.
The Rainbow Coalition, as championed by Wike, is designed to bolster President Tinubu while simultaneously enabling the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to field candidates in multiple constituencies.
In the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, a series of unfortunate events have led to a 14-hour traffic nightmare. A multiple-vehicle collision at the Kara Bridge, compounded by ongoing repair works, has left countless motorists stranded for over a day. The chaos is worsened by drivers who have ignored traffic regulations and driven against the flow of the road, exacerbating congestion and extending the gridlock into the heart of Lagos.
Former Premier League striker Andy Cole has offered insights into why several English clubs were unable to sign Victor Osimhen. While acknowledging Osimhen's exceptional talent, Cole suggests that transfer negotiations involve factors beyond just financial considerations. The Nigerian striker, currently playing for Galatasaray, continues to demonstrate his goal-scoring prowess, yet no deal has materialised with Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, or Chelsea.
Cole's comments hint at a complex web of contractual, personal, and club-related elements influencing such high-profile transfers.
