Nigerian minister Nyesom Wike says securing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 is his political priority. He also defends the cross-party Rainbow Coalition, which he presents as a way to support this goal, according to the newspaper Punch.
Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, said his political priority was to secure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. He was speaking on Monday in Abuja after inspecting road construction sites in the Federal Capital Territory.
The minister also rejected accusations against the Rainbow Coalition, a cross-party alliance with which he is associated. He said the coalition was not seeking to destabilise existing parties, but to bring together officials from different parties who support Bola Tinubu’s administration, describing the accusations as “unfounded”.
