Press Statement:
Rainbow Coalition Formally Birthed In Ukwa La Ngwa Zone Of Abia State.
Monday (Orie) 09-11-2026.
The Honourable Minister of Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, and immediate-past Governor of Rivers State, His Excellency, Nyesom Wike, is the Leader and Patron of Peoples Democratic
Party in Nigeria, and, at the same time, a formidable political ally and supporter of incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR. He has a strong conviction that the President has done very well and, therefore, deserves his constitutionally guaranteed second tenure on January 16th, 2027.
By what clearly appears to be an honest desire and design to bring about political inclusiveness and harmonious integration, Barr Wike could be regarded as a leader putting strategies in place to guarantee a less bitter and cancerous political relationship amongst Politicians in Nigeria. In pursuit of this goal, he has meticulously formed a Rainbow Coalition.
Currently at the Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, National level, Rivers State, and some other States, the Rainbow Coalition has experienced immense success. It has established the fact that Politicians from different Political Parties could set aside their differences and work in the overall interest of their People.
Taking a cue from the Presidential Campaign Council of All Progressives Congress at the national level, in which many prominent Politicians from other Political Parties, such as Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Accord Party, and some other Parties were included, the brochure of Inauguration of 2027 Abia APC Presidential Campaign Council, as published and distributed on Thursday (Orie) 5th November, 2026 at International Conference Centre, Umuahia, contained names of prominent opposition Politicians in the State such as;
(1) 2023 Governorship Candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, who is still a member of PDP, Chief Okechukwu Ambrose Ahiwe,
(2) the Chairman and 2027 Governorship Running Mate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Elder Abraham Amah,
(3) Current State Secretary of PDP, Sir Peter Nwaokonko, and
(4) ‘State Chairman’ of African Democratic Congress, ADC, Mr Don Norman Obinna.
Arising from the above basic political understanding and reality, some prominent Politicians in Ukwa/Ngwa geo-political entity, also known as Old Aba Division, which has Nine out of the Seventeen
Local Government Areas of Abia State, under the guidance of Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Royal Kingdom of Spain, immediate-past Governor of Abia State, and Leader of Ukwa/Ngwa People, His Excellency, Ambassador Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, Ph.D, have today, Monday (Orie) 9th November, 2026, after several consultative meetings held previously, adopted the Rainbow Coalition in the Nine Local Government Areas of;
(1) Aba-North
(2) Aba-South
(3) Isialangwa-North
(4) Isialangwa-South
(5) Obingwa
(6) Osisioma-Ngwa
(7) Ugwunagbo
(8) Ukwa-East, and
(9) Ukwa-West.
A leadership composition of the Coalition is as reflected below;
(1) His Excellency,
Ambassador Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, Ph.D, State Leader.
(2) Chief Chinwe Nwanganga, Leader, Ukwa La Ngwa
(3) Rt Hon Emeka Stanley, 1st Deputy Leader, Ukwa La Ngwa,
(4) Chief Ike Anyatonwu, 2nd Deputy Leader, Ukwa La Ngwa,
(5) Chief Obinna Oriaku, Director-General, Ukwa La Ngwa,
(6) Sir Peter Nwaokonko, Secretary, Ukwa La Ngwa,
(7) Nze Nnamdi Amala, Treasurer, Ukwa La Ngwa,
(8) Sir Don Ubani, Director of Media And Strategic Communication, Ukwa La Ngwa,
(9) Mrs Uloma Nwogu, Woman Leader, Ukwa La Ngwa
(10) Prince Chinedu Ugboaja, Youth Leader, Ukwa La Ngwa, and
(11) Nine Local Government Area Cordinators, to be announced after due consultations.
The Rainbow Coalition in Ukwa La Ngwa is principally committed to the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on Saturday (Orie) 16th January, 2027.
It is the belief of Leaders of the Rainbow Coalition in Ukwa La Ngwa that the Coalition does not in any way imply that members in All Progressives Congress, Peoples Democratic Party, or any other Party in the Coalition have any need to leave their Political Parties for another Party. Rather, it is strongly believed that the Coalition will amount to a strategic partnership that will guarantee electoral successes for the Coalition.
In this regard, it is equally hoped that the leadership of the associated Parties will direct and guide members of the Coalition in the grassroots on what their thoughts are before and during the 2027 general election.
This Press Statement is signed by Sir Don Ubani; KSC, JP
Director of Media And Strategic Communication.
