2027 Election: Larger National Rainbow Coalition For Tinubu Coming Soon – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that the 2027 presidential election is as good as concluded, asserting that a expanding “rainbow coalition” will soon emerge to secure President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election.

Speaking to journalists during an inspection exercise in Abuja, Wike addressed Governor Ademola Adeleke’s recent visit, framing it as part of a broader cross-party realignment behind the president.

Wike dismissed claims by rival factions regarding the governor’s platform strategy, noting that while Adeleke ran on the Accord Party platform due to internal wranglings within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he remains deeply rooted in the PDP structure and is now fully committed to supporting President Tinubu ahead of 2027.

The FCT Minister emphasized that internal crises have effectively dismantled major opposition parties, leaving no cohesive force to challenge the current administration.

Wike maintained that the coming weeks will reveal even further realignments from diverse political figures across the country, reinforcing his stance that the 2027 contest is already settled in favor of the expanding national coalition.
