Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has urged other Nigerian states to adopt the coalition model in place in the FCT and Rivers State. He argued that the arrangement promotes political cooperation and brings stability that crosses party lines. Wike, who governed Rivers for two terms before taking the FCT job, has long balanced relationships across rival parties. His own seat in an All Progressives Congress federal cabinet despite his Peoples Democratic Party roots reflects that same stance. According to him, states that copy the model would find their politics calmer and their governance more predictable. The appeal lands amid ongoing realignments among Nigerian politicians. It remains to be seen whether governors and state assemblies will take up his suggestion.
