Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has expressed gratitude to God that he is not on the list of governors the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, said are fighting him.

The governor made the expression on Tuesday during an interview on TVC.

He was speaking on the political dispute between Wike and some All Progressives Congress, APC, governors over the Rainbow Coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Recall that Wike on Monday listed three APC governors he said are fighting him.

He named them as Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma, Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun.

Reacting, Governor Sule said, “Thank God I’m not on that list. I feel relieved that I’m not on Wike’s list of APC governors fighting the Rainbow Coalition.

“Wike is one of the ministers in this administration, and if he says he wants to support President Tinubu from another party, remember he’s not an APC member.

“What’s the whole essence of an alliance? I think the Governors’ Forum message was misunderstood.”
