Rainbow Coalition: Pick A Side, Leave PDP For APC To Show Seriousness, Gov Dauda Lawal Tells Wike
Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, FCT Minister, Mr Nyesom Wike should pick a side and leave PDP for APC to show that he is truly committed to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, has submitted.
Governor Dauda Lawal noted that the minister cannot claim to be in support of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid and at the same time back candidates of other parties while adding that the stance of APC governors on the ‘rainbow coalition’ remains unchanged.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the governor who said this in an interview with Inside Sources on Channels Television, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, also noted that Wike’s idea of supporting President Tinubu’s re-election bid while allowing other parties to challenge APC candidates in the governorship and legislative elections is inconsistent with the expectations of members of the ruling party.
‘Our message is very, very clear: Be on one side. You can’t be in two sides. If you’re in APC, please come out and support APC. Not that you are supporting APC here and you are supporting other political parties somewhere else. It doesn’t make sense. It’s not done anywhere’ he submitted while disclosing plans to raise the issue with Mr President and urge him to clearly define Wike’s role ahead of the 2027 general election.
‘It’s something that I will take up with the president when he comes back. So, let there be a very, very clear line where this guy belongs to. It’s either he’s in APC or he’s out. It’s simple. And I go with my brothers, the governors’ he said.
‘Well, I mean, he knows the people he’s referring to, honestly. As for me, I mean, you can’t say that in Zamfara State. The difference is very, very clear. I invite anybody to come and see what we are doing in Zamfara State’ Governor Dauda also submitted when asked if he is among the APC governors that the minister had referred to as lazy people- Team@orientactualmags.
