An opinion piece criticises Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike over his so-called Rainbow Coalition, a cross-party project positioned as a strategic vehicle for President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election. The article says the coalition has collided head-on with the Progressive Governors Forum, chaired by Imo State Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma, and the wider fraternity of state governors. It draws historical parallels with the fall of empires such as Rome, the Ottomans and apartheid South Africa, attributing their decline partly to the arrogance of leaders who mistook the applause of a season for the loyalty of a lifetime. The piece argues Wike seems hell-bent on relearning this lesson the hard way.
