Wike says APC governors are “politically lazy” over dispute on 2027 Rainbow Coalition

 The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has criticized governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC), describing them as “politically lazy.”His remarks came after APC governors rejected his proposed Rainbow Coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Wike clarified that his support for President Bola Tinubu does not mean he has abandoned his party or opposed other parties fielding candidates.The APC governors, led by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, had earlier declared they would not back any alliance that could undermine Tinubu’s re-election bid or affect APC candidates nationwide.Reacting, Wike said: “They are politically lazy. When you have your local problems, don’t use Mr President as your excuse.”He noted that opposition to his political moves did not begin with his support for Tinubu, recalling similar resistance during his tenure as Rivers State governor and later as FCT minister.According to Wike, his critics lack the depth of political knowledge he possesses, insisting that if they had access to the information available to him, they would better understand his position.
