Morning recap: Wike, APC govs clash over Rainbow Coalition, Lagos-Ibadan motorists trapped in 14-hour gridlock, other top stories

The Morning recap features several top stories, including a clash between Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike and All Progressives Congress governors over the Rainbow Coalition. The governors have rejected any alliance that could undermine President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, while Wike insists the coalition supports Tinubu while allowing the PDP to field candidates in other contests.

Additionally, motorists on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway were trapped in a 14-hour gridlock after a multiple-vehicle crash at the Kara Bridge compounded ongoing repair works. Andy Cole, a former Manchester United striker, discussed factors beyond transfer fees and salaries that may have prevented Premier League clubs from signing Victor Osimhen, who continues to score freely at Galatasaray.

Finally, a man named Adejuwon Adekunle was shot dead by gunmen near a recreation centre in Osogbo, suspected to be cult-related.
