Rainbow Coalition Critics Can’t Unite Their Families, Wike Says

Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike defended the Rainbow Coalition, which brings together APC and PDP political figures to promote unity and development in Abuja. At the commissioning of the Gwagwalada Civic Centre, he said politicians denying the alliance’s existence could not unite their own families and communities. Wike urged residents to support former senator Philip Aduda and other coalition-endorsed candidates, and to vote for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. Local APC and PDP leaders praised Wike for fostering political cooperation and reviving a project in Gwagwalada that had been abandoned for 16 years.
