Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has stated that he will not support Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma for the position of Senate President after the 2027 elections. Wike made this announcement during a recent appearance on TVC's Journalists' Hangout, as his relationship with Uzodimma and the All Progressives Congress (APC) has become increasingly strained over Wike's proposed Rainbow Coalition.
According to Wike, some APC governors are opposing the Rainbow Coalition in order to influence the next leadership of the National Assembly. He specifically cited Uzodimma, who currently chairs the Progressive Governors' Forum, as someone who is pursuing the Senate presidency after his term as Imo governor ends in January 2028. Wike emphasized that Uzodimma's office will expire before he can assume the Senate presidency, and therefore, he will not support Uzodimma for the position.
