Former President of the Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide, Engr. Udengs Eradiri, has described the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike's Rainbow Coalition as a major political asset capable of delivering bulk votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Eradiri said the coalition, which cuts across political interests and platforms, should be embraced as an added advantage to the President's re-election bid rather than viewed as a threat by APC governors and other party leaders. He said Wike's initiative had demonstrated political ingenuity by creating a broad alliance focused on mobilising support for Tinubu beyond the structures of the ruling party. He urged political leaders supporting Tinubu to embrace the coalition.
