\u201cGet that very, very clear. So in Nigeria, anybody who should be seen to be, you know, doing more for PDP is me, not Wike. Of course, Wike is doing the financing, I agree. But then, you know, the issues are legal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Lamido said his court action at the Supreme Court was instrumental in securing the annulment of the party\u2019s Ibadan national convention, insisting that his actions should not be interpreted as support for Wike\u2019s camp.\n<\/p>\n The former governor\u2019s comments come amid divisions within the PDP over Wike\u2019s political activities and his support for Tinubu\u2019s re-election in 2027.\n<\/p>\n Wike, who served as Rivers State governor from 2015 to 2023, has been promoting the Rainbow Coalition, a cross-party political arrangement aimed at mobilising support for Tinubu\u2019s second-term ambition.<\/p>\n The minister has maintained that the arrangement does not prevent the PDP from fielding candidates for governorship and legislative elections, arguing that members of different political parties can support Tinubu for president while backing candidates of their preferred parties for other positions.\n<\/p>\n The political disagreement has also revived tensions between Wike and other PDP stakeholders, some of whom have questioned his continued involvement in the opposition party while serving in Tinubu\u2019s administration.\n<\/p>\n Lamido, meanwhile, has been involved in the PDP\u2019s leadership crisis through his legal challenge to the party\u2019s November 2025 national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State.\n<\/p>\n![\"Nyesom](\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Nyesom-Wike_1782223817.webp\")
