Abuja, Nigeria – Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has expressed confidence that he would secure overwhelming support from Nigerians if he decides to contest for the presidency.
Speaking during a media chat with selected journalists on Monday, Wike said he remains widely accepted across the country. According to him, Nigerians still have strong affection for him and would vote for him in large numbers should he enter the presidential race.
