Life or de@th, I’ll never support Uzodinma to become Senate president - Wike

The rift between the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has taken a different turn, with Wike claiming Uzodinma hopes to run for Senate President in 2027 and is working to ensure that only Senators who support his ambitions, get elected into the National Assembly. Wike made this claim while speaking on TVC on Monday, September 21. He said;Hope Uzodimma became a governor by taking fourth position. He has 11 months to leave office. President Tinubu will be inaugurated by May 2027, and Uzodimma's tenure will end around January 2028. Now, he wants to leave his office to run for Senate President. What he does is to tell APC governors to produce the Senators and House of Reps members because of his agenda to become Senate President. Governor Uzodimma is afraid that the senators who lost in APC and moved to the PDP might win and won't support him to become Senate President because they're running with Wike's support. Life or de@th, I will never support a character of Hope Uzodimma to become the Senate President.This mans office will expire in January 2028. Now, he wants to leave his office to run for Senate. I will never support a character of Hope Uzodimma to be Senate President of Nigeria''  Wikes comment is the latest development in the ongoing rift between him and the All Progressives Governors Forum, led by Uzodimma. Last week, the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) said it would not endorse any alliance or political arrangements that could undermine President Bola Tinubus re-election bid or the partys candidates in the 2027 elections. The governors were alluding to the rainbow coalition, a cross-party alliance associated with Wike that is backing Tinubus re-election bid.  The post Life or de@th, Ill never support Uzodinma to become Senate president - Wike appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
