Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has identified three All Progressives Congress Governors who he accused of opposing his Rainbow Coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
While appearing on Journalists’ Hangout, a programme on TVC, Wike listed the APC Governors as Imo State’s Hope Uzodimma, Kwara State’s AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and Ogun State’s Dapo Abiodun.
Wike said several APC Governors had no problem with the Rainbow Coalition, which he has presented as a platform to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election across political parties.
He specifically mentioned Adamawa, Edo, Kogi, Lagos and Akwa Ibom, as well as the governor of Ondo State, as governors who, according to him, were not opposed to the coalition.
Wike said, “How can a governor leave his state and go to Abuja to complain that Rainbow Coalition is a distraction? Is that a serious governor?
“Adamawa, Edo, Kogi, Lagos and Akwa-Ibom state governors do not have a problem with the Rainbow Coalition. I saw Ondo Governor there, and I was shocked.”
He then named the three APC governors he said were behind the opposition to his political activities.
“The governors having issues with me are Governor Hope Uzodimma, Governor Abdulrazaq and Governor Dapo Abiodun,” Wike added.
The FCT Minister’s remarks came following an escalating disagreement between him and the leadership of the APC Governors Forum over the Rainbow Coalition.
