Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has hinted at plans to form what he described as the “largest rainbow coalition” to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Wike made the remark while speaking with journalists in Abuja on Friday about the visit of Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, to his residence on Thursday.
The FCT minister claimed that Adeleke was now on the side of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and suggested that the opposition would be unable to stop Tinubu’s re-election.
According to Wike, the 2027 election is already a “walkover,” insisting that there is little the opposition parties can do.
“In the next few weeks, watch what is going to happen. You will see the largest rainbow coalition supporting President Tinubu,” he said.
DAILY POST reports that Adeleke, who was re-elected as Osun State governor last week after a keenly contested election, has declared his support for President Tinubu.
The governor and his nephew, Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, visited Wike in Abuja on Thursday after Adeleke collected his Certificate of Return.
