2027: Umahi says Wike’s Rainbow Coalition not in Ebonyi

Minister of Works Dave Umahi has stated that the proposed 'Rainbow Coalition' championed by Nyesom Wike will not be established in Ebonyi State. The declaration comes amid ongoing political friction between Wike and various members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), including several state governors, regarding the formation of the coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The statement highlights internal tensions within the APC as party leadership and regional stakeholders navigate the implications of Wike’s political maneuvers. By explicitly rejecting the coalition's presence in his home state, Umahi underscores the resistance the initiative faces from within the ruling party's ranks.
