Wike vs APC Governors: Why Is Tinubu Caught in the Middle?

A major political confrontation is unfolding ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 elections as FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and APC governors clash over the controversial “Rainbow Coalition.” Wike says the coalition is focused on mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election, while insisting that it is not an alliance with the APC and does not prevent other political parties from fielding candidates. APC governors, however, have rejected political arrangements they believe could weaken the party or create divided loyalty. So why has this disagreement become so public? What exactly is Wike trying to build? Why are APC governors pushing back? And where does President Bola Tinubu fit into the growing political dispute?
