Wike had previously named Governors Hope Uzodimma (Imo), AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (Kwara), and Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) as the APC governors opposing him over the coalition, questioning why they would leave their states to interfere in Abuja politics.
Speaking during a TVC interview regarding the political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections, Governor Sule clarified his stance:
-
Relief Over Exclusion: Sule openly stated, “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.”
-
Perspective on Wike’s Role: He noted that Wike is a minister in the current administration working to support President Tinubu despite belonging to a different party, emphasizing that alliances can be complex.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Lokpobiri explained that energy costs and pricing are driven by global market dynamics, noting that economic pressures affecting Nigerians’ purchasing power are also being felt in the United States and Europe due to international challenges like the Middle East crisis.
Key highlights from his interview include:
-
Global Commodity Pricing: Lokpobiri emphasized that oil and gas are traded globally, meaning prices in Nigeria mirror those in international markets, and production volume changes will not alter global commodity pricing.
-
No Price Control: Responding to whether the administration holds the authority to regulate pump prices, the minister clarified that the government cannot arbitrarily dictate rates without reintroducing subsidies, as the market is completely deregulated.
-
Defense of Subsidy Removal: Defending President Bola Tinubu’s inauguration-day decision to scrap the fuel subsidy, Lokpobiri argued that the timely move saved Nigeria from an economic collapse comparable to Venezuela’s.
