2027: Wike's Support for Tinubu Exposes APC Governors' Political Anxiety, Says PDP
Hope Uzodimma said the governors will back only APC candidates and warn that any alliance could weaken President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 reelection effort.
- On Monday, the APC Governors Forum, chaired by Hope Uzodimma, resolved to reject any political alliances, including the 'Rainbow Coalition' promoted by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, that might weaken the party before the 2027 elections.
- The coalition, which Wike promoted to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid, allegedly backs non-APC candidates, prompting the governors' unified opposition to protect party interests.
- In a recent media chat, Wike accused Uzodimma and Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of sponsoring falsehoods about the platform, alleging their opposition stems from the coalition's growing acceptance.
- Uzodimma confirmed the forum will exclusively support All Progressives Congress candidates, emphasizing that the party's campaign architecture will align strictly with the strategic objectives of President Tinubu.
- Although the movement began in Rivers State, some APC leaders fear it undermines the party by supporting politicians who lost primaries and now contest under the Peoples Democratic Party banner.
