Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike addressed the criticism surrounding the Rainbow Coalition during an appearance on TVC’s Journalists Hangout programme. Wike attributed the controversy to Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma's desire to become Senate President in 2027, stating that his own concerns over voter confusion, not those of the APC, are the real issue.
When asked about the claims by Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement of winning the 2023 presidential election in Rivers State, Wike dismissed them, asserting that true victories are declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), not social media or specific polling units. He questioned the legitimacy of victory claims based on limited polling units, emphasizing that over 7,000 polling units exist in Rivers State.
Wike also dismissed threats from political rivals in Rivers State, expressing confidence that the 2027 general election would be his smoothest contest yet. He urged voters to consider tangible benefits and reasons why following him would be advantageous compared to their current situation.
