Why We Follow Wike And Rainbow Coalition -ADC Kogi Activist Isaiah Ijele
Isaiah Ijele, a Good Governance Advocate, has defended his decision to support Nyesom Wike, arguing that political loyalty should be determined by performance rather than party membership or state of origin.
Speaking during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Saturday, November 7, 2026, Ijele explained that his political position does not prevent him from supporting leaders outside his political party.
He disclosed that although he belonged to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), he supported President Bola Tinubu’s political ambition.
According to him, this position reflected the idea behind the Rainbow Coalition, which allowed politicians to maintain their party affiliations while supporting candidates they believed in.
Ijele also explained why he identified with Wike, saying the Minister’s performance in the Federal Capital Territory influenced his decision.
He argued that politicians should pay more attention to what leaders accomplished than their political promises.
He further questioned why he should defend a Governor who neither maintained contact with him nor showed interest in having a relationship with him.
Ijele maintained that supporting a leader because of visible achievements should not be considered shameful, regardless of where that politician came from.
