2027: Rainbow Coalition mobilising for Tinubu’s re-election, not for APC – Wike

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has clarified that his support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027 is unwavering. According to Wike, the "Rainbow Coalition" - a platform of various political parties and groups backing Tinubu - has no affiliation with the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Wike made the statement in response to concerns that some APC governors, including Imo State's Hope Uzodinma, were downplaying the coalition's significance. Uzodinma had reportedly stated that APC governors had not entered into any formal agreements with individuals or opposition parties regarding the 2027 elections.

Wike emphasized that his support for Tinubu's re-election is not tied to any specific party, and that the coalition represents a broader base of support for the President. He also noted that politics is local, and that individuals with problems in their states should focus on resolving them rather than using the President's re-election as a rallying cry.
