The face-off between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, appears far from over.
On Wednesday, Wike was captured on camera snubbing Uzodinma, who chairs the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors’ Forum.
The incident occurred during the launch of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja, where the FCT Minister was seen greeting President Bola Tinubu and other dignitaries but appeared to deliberately ignore the Imo State governor.
DAILY POST reports that the two politicians fell out after the APC governors led by Uzodinma distanced themselves from the Rainbow Coalition, a political group formed by the Minister ahead of the 2027 elections.
While Uzodinma and some of the governors are against the coalition, others have identified with the group, stating that the main focus is President Tinubu’s re-election bid.
