The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says President Bola Tinubu would receive a “larger rainbow coalition” in his re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general election in Nigeria.

Mr Wike who spoke on Friday in Abuja while inspecting ongoing projects in the city, stated that Governor Ademola Adeleke’s visit to Mr Tinubu was an indication.

“When you say opposition, I’ve told you I don’t know what you call opposition, as far as there is no opposition now,” Mr Wike said.

He stated that Mr Adeleke still remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite winning the election in the Accord Party.

He added that Mr Adeleke’s visit to the president after winning the Osun governorship election last Saturday was intended to strengthen Mr Tinubu’s support.

“What happened last night is a meeting to rebuild a larger Rainbow Coalition. And he (Adeleke) is supporting Mr President.

“He’s in a different party; I’m supporting Mr President, and I’m in a different party. So, it’s a larger Rainbow Coalition,” he said.

The minister noted that more political developments should be expected in the coming weeks, noting that other politicians would align with the president.

“And in the next few weeks, watch what is going to happen. You will see a larger Rainbow Coalition in this country supporting the President,” he said.

“All those ADC who are talking about ‘they helped Adeleke to win,’ they just wanted to go and harvest where they never planted,” Mr Wike said.
