“Nigerians Still Love Me, Will Overwhelmingly Vote For Me As Presidential Candidate”, Wike  Boasts

By Suleiman Anyalewechi 

Despite publicly  admitting being the most abused  political actor in Nigeria after President Bola Tinubu, the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Minister Nyesom Wike, insists that he will still enjoy overwhelming support from across Nigeria if he decides to throw his hat into the Presidential ring.

The Source reports that in late 2025, the Wike, who not a few have come to love, or hate, owing to his perceived  impudent and domineering posture, and somewhat uncouth comments and actions, had confessed to being one of the most abused and hated Nigerian politicians in recent times.

He has, however, dismissed whatever negative public perception of him as  immaterial ,and of no consequences.

Speaking at his monthly media parley in Abuja on Monday, the FCT Minister highlighted his strong capacity to connect and reconnect with the grassroots 

Further underlying his political prowess and acceptability, within the country’s political landscape, Wike, apart from  expressing  the confidence that people will vote for him as a Presidential candidate, insisted that candidates loyal to him will still win the  FCT Council Polls even if they are held one hundred times .

According to him, his acclaimed high performance index both in Rivers State and now, in the FCT, is enough to market and endear him the country’s electorate.

“Nigerians still love me despite whatever some vocal people are saying. If I decide to run for the Presidency, I am certain that overwhelming majority of Nigerians will vote for me if I decide to contest the country’s presidency”, the immediate past Governor of Rivers State stated.
