‘They’ve no basis’ – Wike tackles APC govs over Rainbow Coalition

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, faulted the Progressives Governors Forum’s stance on the Rainbow Coalition in Rivers State.

Wike said the APC governors stance on the Rainbow Coalition has no basis.

The APC Governors Forum, chaired by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, had warned that the Rainbow Coalition could undermine President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.

Uzodimma also said the coalition could threaten APC and it’s candidates’ chances in the 2027 elections.

Reacting, Wike, in an interview with Arise Television’s Politics Today, said: “Now what is the crisis of sponsoring candidates, Soludo is supporting President Tinubu, does it mean he won’t support APGA candidates for the National Assembly elections? Governor Adeleke is supporting the president. Does it mean he won’t support Accord National Assembly candidates.

“Alex Otti is supporting President Tinubu from what he said. Does it mean the Labour Party won’t have National Assembly candidates. You can see the whole thing they’re talking about has no basis.”
