Wike: Rainbow Coalition Not A Threat To Governors, Opposition Should Explain Their Fears.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has challenged governors opposed to the Rainbow Coalition to explain their reservations, insisting that the political alliance is not designed to threaten their interests.
Wike said the coalition was aimed at bringing political supporters together to strengthen electoral support rather than undermine individual political interests at state and local levels.
Speaking during his media parley on Thursday, Wike questioned why some governors were uncomfortable with the arrangement, particularly as its objective was to combine political support for candidates.
“I want to know the reason why you are afraid of the Rainbow Coalition. Explaining how the arrangement works, the minister said political allies could support one another without necessarily abandoning their individual political interests or campaign strategies. I will tell my own people, my supporters, to vote for you. “In essence, we are combining the votes together as regards to you,” Wike said.
