Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has drawn a firm political battle line, declaring that he will never support Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma’s ambition to become the President of the Senate in 2027.
Speaking during a media chat on Monday, Wike accused the Progressive Governors Forum chairman of leveraging his office to suppress opposition and advance personal political goals. The friction underscores deepening realignments surrounding the controversial “Rainbow Coalition”—a cross-party alliance spearheaded by Wike ostensibly to back President Bola Tinubu’s re-endorsement, which ruling party governors claim threatens local APC structures.
Key Political Flashpoints
- The 2027 Power Play: Wike alleged that Uzodinma and aligned governors are manipulating state party machineries to secure legislative tickets for loyalists to pave the way for Uzodinma’s ascension to the Senate leadership.
- The Rainbow Coalition Dispute: While Wike insists the coalition targets presidential mobilization without blocking local opposition candidates, APC governors argue the parallel platform undermines official party candidates.
- Personal Rivalry: Dismissing the feud as non-personal, Wike openly criticized Uzodinma’s political emergence and handling of internal party crises, stating he would block any path to the Red Chamber’s presidency.
