MATTERS ARISING: If Rainbow dies, will Wike support Tinubu? Delta Deputy Director’s death+Otti & Obi

Today’s MATTERS ARISING examines two major developments making headlines.

Nyesom Wike’s position on President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 bid remains a subject of political discussion as tensions continue around the Rainbow Coalition. Wike has publicly maintained his support for Tinubu’s re-election while also stressing that the coalition is distinct from the APC and can support different candidates in other elections.

But what happens if the Rainbow Coalition eventually collapses? Would Wike’s position on Tinubu remain unchanged? The ongoing disagreements between Wike and some APC governors have added another layer to the political calculations ahead of 2027.

We also look at the reported death of a Delta State deputy director and the reactions surrounding the development.
