Wike deceived LP, others into Rainbow Coalition, endorsed solely APC, PDP factions – Rivers ADC

The Rivers State chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, of deceiving members of the Labour Party, LP, and different opposition events into becoming a member of the Rainbow Coalition he’s championing within the state.

DAILY POST remembers that the coalition unveiled its most popular candidates on Tuesday, endorsing candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for governorship, Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly elections.

Meanwhile, the coalition drew its membership from a number of political events together with the Labour Party and different opposition events.

Reacting, Rivers ADC spokesperson, Chizy Enyi, mentioned in a video clip he shared on his official Facebook web page on Wednesday that political events fielding candidates for the 2027 normal elections have been deceived into the coalition.

According to Enyi, Wike and members of his group solely endorsed candidates from APC and PDP factions, leaving others behind.

He mentioned, “Just yesterday, the deceptive members of the Rainbow Coalition led by Nyesom Wike met and gave flag to only factional members of APC and PDP who are supporters of Wike.

“The coalition deserted different political events, which they claimed are elements of the Rainbow Coalition.

“They deserted the Labour Party, LP, PRP and others. None of them was given any alternative to be an peculiar state House of Assembly member.
