2027: I’m For Any Coalition That Supports Tinubu’s Re-Election — Gov Eno

By NewsDESK –

Akwa Ibom Governor Pastor Umo Eno has thrown his weight behind the Rainbow Coalition led by Federal Capital Territory, FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, saying that he will back any coalition that supports President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in the 2027 general elections.

Pastor Eno stated this while fielding questions during a media chat on Saturday.

“That Rainbow Coalition is simply saying that we support President Tinubu as the President,” he said. “If I will join and be a member of any coalition — whether it is rainbow, call it any name. Any coalition that the central point is supporting the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I am for it.”

The governor said that the relationship between the All Progressives Congress,, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Akwa Ibom is “good on the ground”.

Governor Eno, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the APC after his defection from the PDP in June 2025, said the two parties had agreed to support Tinubu, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and himself in the 2027 general elections.

“I will work with all of them, and I think we are good on the ground in Akwa Ibom when it comes to PDP-APC relationship,” the governor said.

“We have agreed on the fact that we are supporting the President, we are supporting the Senate President, we are supporting the governor, and we have our clear understanding about those things.”

The Rainbow Coalition is spearheaded by Wike to galvanise support for the re-election bid of President Tinubu in 2027.
