Governors elected on the All Progressives Congress platform have distanced themselves from any coalition or alliance with any individual ahead of the 2027 general elections, maintaining that they remain committed to the APC and its political structure.
Chairman of the APC Governors Forum and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, said this at the end of the governors’ meeting in Abuja late Monday night, stressing that they had not entered into any formal agreement with any individual or opposition party ahead of the election.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and national leader of the Peoples Democratic Party, Nyesom Wike, who is serving in the APC-led Federal Government, has been championing a Rainbow Coalition movement in Rivers State in support of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
Wike, who has been embroiled in disagreements with some APC governors, disclosed during his recent media chat that Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, and Uzodimma were allegedly behind his political challenges.
He said this was because of the growing national spread of his Rainbow Coalition, which he said was providing the PDP with a platform for politicians seeking to challenge the ruling party’s governorship and senatorial candidates in the next election, contrary to the governors’ interests.
