PDP will come out victorious in FCT polls – Gov Ortom

Governor Samuel Ortom is optimistic that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would win the council elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, on Saturday.

The Governor stated that the election will be a walkover for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, due to the All Progressives Congress, APC’s poor record, and that the PDP’s expected victory would be a good indicator for the national elections in 2023.
The elections for the six Area Councils of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, are set for Saturday, February 12, 2022.

After presiding over a meeting of the PDP campaign committee council for the Abuja elections on Wednesday, the Governor met with journalists in Abuja and expressed confidence that the opposition party will win.
Governor Ortom said what was left for them as a party was to work hard and be vigilant against any attempt to disrupt the election, pointing out that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has given the party assurance to conduct a transparent and free election, saying the party has confidence in the electoral umpire.

The Governor called on stakeholders of the party to make sacrifices for the success of the party in the council elections.

While restating the belief of the PDP in fairness, justice and equity, Governor Ortom however warned that any attempt to rig the election and shortchange the party will be met with stiff resistance.

FCT PDP Leader and Senate Minority Whip, Senator Philip Aduda was optimistic of the party’s landslide victory in the six area councils.
