DAILY POST reports that the disagreement intensified after the APC Governors’ Forum, led by Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, distanced itself from the Rainbow Coalition being championed by Wike.

The development has reportedly divided the governors, with some appearing sympathetic to Wike’s coalition efforts, while others have maintained that the coalition could undermine the APC’s electoral interests ahead of the 2027 elections.

President Bola Tinubu is expected to broker peace between the warring political leaders soon.
