2027: Wike urges governors to adopt Rainbow Coalition model to avoid political violence

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike urged governors backing Bola Tinubu’s reelection to adopt his Rainbow Coalition model, which brings APC and PDP politicians together to encourage cooperation and prevent political violence. Speaking at a gathering in Kuje, he called for inclusive representation and urged voters to judge candidates by their accessibility, performance and accountability, criticizing Senator Ireti Kingibe for allegedly failing to engage adequately with local communities. Wike also said the road connecting the Airport Road–Tipper Garage corridor to Gwagwalada would be completed and commissioned by the end of December.
