Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has criticized the Progressives Governors Forum's position on the Rainbow Coalition in Rivers State, stating that the alliance lacks a solid foundation. The APC Governors Forum, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, had previously warned that the Rainbow Coalition could jeopardize President Bola Tinubu's bid for re-election in 2027, as well as threaten the party's chances in the 2027 elections.
Wike, speaking to Arise Television's Politics Today, dismissed the forum's concerns, pointing out that APC governors such as Soludo, Adeleke, and Alex Otti are all supporting Tinubu. He questioned the logic behind the forum's accusations, noting that if these governors were genuinely concerned about the coalition's impact, they would not be supporting the president. Wike emphasized that the entire argument from the Progressives Governors Forum is "without basis."
