The Rainbow Coalition is now set to deepen its activities in Cross River State, after a meeting of the stakeholders with the FCT minister and leader of the coalition, Nyesom Wike.
The meeting, which took place at Wike’s Abuja residence on Saturday morning, had some candidates of the PDP in the state in attendance.
Among those at the meeting were the PDP presidential candidate, Prof Sandy Onor, the governorship candidate, Arthur Jarvis, the party’s central senatorial candidate, John Ifere,the candidate for the Abi/Yakurr Federal Constituency, Dr Alex Egbona, as well as the state secretary, Joe Bisong.
At the meeting, discussions centred around support for the re-election of tje president, Bola Tinubu, and how other political parties in the coalition will be helped to win their own election under their party’s platforms.
Egbona, who spoke in an interview after the meeting, said “the Rainbow Coalition has come to stay and to win elections for affiliate party members in Cross River.
“Under the coalition, we will work hard to ensure that victory is secured for all contenders who are either covered directly by the umbrella or whose interest is being protected by the Coalition umbrella.
” In the near future, a lot of things will unfold. But rest assured that you will see results in our state by reason of the Coalition.
“Victory awaits all the candidates whose political parties fall under the Coalition.”
He urged political parties who were yet to identify with the Coalition to do so immediately in their own interest, saying that the Rainbow Coalition was one large political family that was big enough to protect everybody.
