Vice President Kashim Shettima has rejected the plan of Nyesom Wike’s Rainbow Coalition for split voting.

He urged supporters to vote only for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

Similarly, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) rejected any involvement in what it described as the APC Rainbow Coalition, accusing the ruling party of attempting to infiltrate opposition parties and weaken their structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.

APC elders in Ondo State also rejected any coalition arrangement that would require the party to sacrifice its candidates or surrender constituencies in exchange for support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, adding that the APC could win the state without any coalition.

Shettima issued the directive on Wednesday in Lafia, Nasarawa State, during the APC presidential campaign rally.

The Rainbow Coalition, led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, is mobilising support for President Tinubu’s re-election.

Wike had repeatedly said the coalition was set up only to back the President, while it would back candidates of other parties for governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and House of Assembly seats.

Shettima disagreed with that position, saying the Presidency would not accept such an arrangement and that President Tinubu’s main message is a clean sweep for the party.

“APC from top to bottom; APC from bottom to top. We do not want a situation where they say vote for the President and not the governor, or vote for the governor and not the President, or the senator, or the House of Assembly. We want APC straight,” Shettima stated.

I like how you guys are fooling yourself in nairaland 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 keep on 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let’s not allow APC to propagandize us into accepting that their internal politics is our national politics.

We should instead be asking them to account for the incalculable injuries they’ve collectively inflicted on our economy, our freedoms, our national emotions, and for reversing whatever little progress we were making before they took over.
