This promise was made during a meeting with stakeholders in Kwali Area Council, where Wike urged councillors to mobilise residents and community groups to secure victory for the APC in their respective wards. Additionally, Wike endorsed Senator Philip Aduda for the FCT Senate seat and Danladi Chiya for the Abuja South Federal Constituency, while criticizing opposition parties for their inconsistent reactions to judicial rulings.",
