Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027, emphasizing that he never promised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not field candidates for other elections. Wike clarified that the Rainbow Coalition is not affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC) but serves as a platform for various political parties to support Tinubu's re-election based on his performance.
He urged political stakeholders to focus on the upcoming presidential election and prioritize genuine mobilization of support to win elections, rather than using Tinubu's re-election to stir sentiments. Wike also addressed concerns about the 2023 presidential election results, questioning whether the APC's victories in Imo, Abia, Enugu, and Ebonyi states were due to a rainbow coalition or voter confusion.
He stressed that after Tinubu's re-election, political stakeholders should concentrate on their respective state elections.
