Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has urged Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, to either join the All Progressives Congress (APC) or abandon his Rainbow Coalition. Lawal maintains that he cannot support President Bola Tinubu's re-election while backing candidates from other parties in the 2027 elections.
Speaking to Channels Television's Inside Sources at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, Lawal emphasized the incompatibility of being in both the APC and the Rainbow Coalition, stating that it is an untenable position. He urged Wike to make his allegiance clear ahead of the 2027 elections, emphasizing that the APC stance is steadfast—either support APC entirely or withdraw from the coalition.
Lawal also hinted at raising the issue with Tinubu, stating that Wike's political position needs to be clearly defined.
