The chairmanship candidate of the African Democratic Congress for the Abuja Municipal Area Council in the forthcoming Federal Capital Territory council elections, Dr Moses Paul, has cautioned the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, that the outcome of the poll must reflect the will of the electorate.
Paul issued the warning while addressing supporters and residents in Abuja ahead of Saturday’s election, urging voters to remain steadfast and confident in the democratic process.
He said, “In terms of protecting the votes, Senator Kingibe is there, Senator Obika Joshua is there. So our votes must count.
“Of course, our votes do count. To the minister, this is not Obia Akpor, you can’t write votes in AMAC. He cannot. Somebody should tell the minister that Dr Mo says that the will of the people will count.”
The ADC candidate outlined his vision for the council, pledging assertive leadership and a commitment to addressing insecurity and economic hardship within the area.
According to him, residents of the FCT are seeking governance that delivers tangible improvements in their daily lives.
“On Saturday, there’s going to be a new AMAC, where boldness, objectivity, decisiveness and fearlessness will take centre stage.
“Enough of people dying, enough of poverty, enough of brigandage. We own this city, Wike does not own the city. The city belongs to the people, the sovereign masses and the young people listening to me,” Paul said.
He further called on young people and other eligible voters to participate actively in the election, describing the exercise as an opportunity to redefine governance in the council.
