Rainbow Coalition: Is Wike A Blessing Or A Headache To The APC? by Hemanwel(op): 11:31am On Oct 16
With the creation of the Rainbow Coalition by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, which is a cross-party political alliance aimed primarily to mobilize support for president Tinubu, the APC presidential candidate in the forthcoming general elections, without abandoning its ambition to contest the Governorship, Senatorial, House of Representatives, or State Assembly elections. This appears to have unsettled the party both at the States and other levels.

The APC can now be likened to the popular female dress, "Skirt and blouse", because the party now has a common goal at the top but divided at the bottom. This also means the Rainbow Coalition doesn't support the APC from top to bottom.

It has created a big division in the party, particular among the APC governors and Senators, who are accusing Wike of causing commotion in the party.

Personally, I see this as greed on the part of president Tinubu. Why would you welcome an alliance that will work for you to become president, but will work against the party at other levels? This isn't fair at all!

Wike is a big blessing, those who couldnt win their states and local govt for their party will want to compare to a wike who won for both his party and opposition, thats rubbish
Re: Rainbow Coalition: Is Wike A Blessing Or A Headache To The APC? by Racoon(m): 11:42am On Oct 16
Nyesom Wike is already a long curse to the APC because he has appropriately called and cursed the APC as a stage-4 hopeless terminal cancer.

No one wants APC to win more than Wike and it's not because he loves Tinubu. He knows what is coming if Atiku or Obi wins. What he does not realise is that Tinubu will give him a worse treatment than either Atiku or Obi would if he wins his re-election. The disgust Remi Tinubu has for him is no longer hidden. He's between a rock and a hard place. Even Kingsley Chinda will be made to turn against him if he wins Rivers.

Isn't this a betrayal of the governors by president Tinubu who lured some first-term governors like Ebonyi and Enugu governors, Nwifuru and Peter Mbah respectively, into APC with the promise that he would support their second term ambitions?

Besides, some governors who joined the APC based on the promise made to them by the president are now aggrieved. Governors like Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, Nwifuru of Ebonyi, Peter Mbah of Enugu, etc

Wike will relocate to India after 2027. Tinubu will relocate to St Lucia. However, we will create them back to answer for their sins.

Is this what happened in Kaduna to El Rufai after helping the master strategist of betrayals grab power from Buhari in 2023?

Ogogoro will make him confess how he rigged the 2023 elections for Tinubu someday. It's only but a matter of time

I am so wishing Nigerians will come out en masse, damning the intimidation by Tinubu-enabled thugs, to cast their votes in January. Let me see how they will rig.

Wike is a blessing to Bola Tinubu but a challenge to some selfish APC politicians.

Re: Rainbow Coalition: Is Wike A Blessing Or A Headache To The APC? by hotmoza: 2:09pm On Oct 16
Wike’s Rainbow Coalition could strengthen Tinubu’s chances in 2027, but the disagreement with APC governors may create more political tension. Let’s see how this alliance plays out.
Re: Rainbow Coalition: Is Wike A Blessing Or A Headache To The APC? by yemmit90: 2:13pm On Oct 16
But why are the governors complaining about this coalition when they could easily takes control of their party structures in their respective state.

Rainbow coalition should be Rivers state affairs, but these governors make it looks like they are under a threat. It is their duties in their state to prevent such coalition, so why are they angry or bother about what Wike is doing
Re: Rainbow Coalition: Is Wike A Blessing Or A Headache To The APC? by Metrofox(m): 2:13pm On Oct 16
Tinubu knows the biggest asset he has is Wike, someone who actually has something to lose If he fails.

You dare not joke with him, he knows others are just mouth and eye service. Wike just like Amaechi has found himself in a tight corner, where he has to fight for his freedom, I'm not sure why Rivers governors are always finding themselves in funny scape-goat situations.

Wike and Tinubu are supposed to be linched on the street. Wallahi

Are you describing Kachila?

President Tinubu is not a betrayal.

Reserve this your wailing till January next year after President Tinubu has been declared winner.

Honorable Nyesom Wike remains a blessing to our Great party under the leadership of the Demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) .

Not just to our party, but an immense blessing to the Ikwerre Kingdom, Rivers state, Nigeria, Africa, world and the entirety of the solar system.
Re: Rainbow Coalition: Is Wike A Blessing Or A Headache To The APC? by Dogalmighty17: 2:31pm On Oct 16
A headache forevermore. Wike by virtue of who he is, is a snake. He can never be a blessing to anyone.
He first starts by gradually taking over structures and creating groups that answer to only him and if he doesn't get his way, he throws a bomb and destroys the party.

The rainbow coalition is nothing but a subtle attempt to begin taking over established structures in the APC. Notice how he was boasting last week that he made the Edo state governor winner of the last elections. Wike is in the PDP but he is making sure the APC candidate for governor in Rivers wins the election. When he has Edo and Rivers state governors answering to him as APC governors, has he not become a party stakeholder in the APC?

There is nothing like a rainbow coalition. All that exists is an emerging structure for Wike to eventually take over the APC.

Tinubu is only after his political survival.
Supporting Tinubu is like supporting Judas the Iscariot.

The coalition is for the Jagaban. It's not Wike's problem that opposition coalition failed. Everyone is a blessing to the Jagaban whom God has blessed.

You called it greed. So you expect Tinubu not to welcome anything/anybody that will make him win for second term ?

The other party members should do their homework too. Sanwo olu and other party members in Lagos failed to do the necessary in 2023 , Sanwo olu was busy focusing on his re-election.

Tinubu is not ready to make that mistake again. Wike promised Tinubu in 2023, and he fulfilled it. And you expect Tinubu to toss him aside ? As a matter of fact, Wike is now Tinubu right hand man.
The party members should deliver their states too.
