You’re afraid of Rainbow Coalition, Okorocha is my friend – Wike to Hope Uzodinma
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday wondered why Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State is afraid of having the Rainbow Coalition in his state.
Wike said he owes no apology to Uzodinma over his friendship with a former governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha.
Speaking during his monthly media chat in Abuja, the minister declared that he is only interested in President Bola Tinubu‘s reelection.
He said: “I’m not in the APC, and before that judgment was given, he (Uzodinma) had openly warned that there is no Rainbow Coalition in Imo State, very uncivilized. So, when that happened, it was credited to me; how would it have been me?
“Why is Hope Uzodinma afraid of the Rainbow Coalition? What’s the problem? You are running an election, and he is supporting you; you tell your supporters to vote for you, and I tell my supporters to vote for me, and we compound it together.
“Your business is to make sure that Mr President wins the election, and I owe you no apologies that Rochas is my friend, so will you kill me because my friend has an issue with you in your state?
Hope Uzodimma, Okorocha, Rainbow Coaliation, Wike,
