FCT Council Poll: Atiku Urges Nigerians to Reject APC

In the impending 2026 FCT council elections, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged Abuja voters to reject the All Progressives Congress, or APC, calling the votes an opportunity for Nigerians to demand change.

In a social media post, Atiku stated that other ADC leaders, including Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, joined him in educating citizens about the significance of the impending elections.

“This is a crucial election. It will demonstrate the readiness of our election management to conduct free, fair, and credible polls, as well as the readiness of the populace to call for political reform, he said.

“Our party has fielded candidates with competence, capacity, and character to offer quality leadership across local councils in Abuja,” he said, urging citizens to vote in large numbers in favor of ADC candidates.

Additionally, Atiku urged voters to oppose intimidation. “It is the duty of voters to resist all forms of coercion and make the correct decision,” he stated.

The former vice president accused the government of ignoring important national issues and criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“The APC-led Federal Government has failed citizens on many fronts,” he stated, adding that voters had a chance to start voting the party out in the FCT elections.

“We should start with the FCT elections and ensure that the APC is voted out in the upcoming elections.”
