APC state chairmen reject a political coalition promoted by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and call on him to defect to the All Progressives Congress. The outlets report that the state-level party leaders also reject the “Rainbow Coalition” framing around Wike’s initiative.
The reports position the development as part of preparations for the 2027 elections. Both sources describe the chairmen’s demand for Wike to formally join the APC rather than continue building an alternative coalition. While the stories share the same core claims, they differ mainly in wording: one outlet refers explicitly to “Rainbow Coalition” language and the chairmen’s refusal of Wike’s proposal, while the other emphasizes the call for “immediate defection” and links the rejection directly to the 2027 electoral timeline. Neither report provides additional detail on coalition membership or Wike’s response.
