A group, FCT Indigenes Coalition Groups 4 Jonathan, has said that all arrangements had been concluded to bring the President’s dream to fruition in 2015 Presidential election.
The group which claimed to be the umbrella organisation in championing the second term of President Jonathan in office said the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan had impacted positively on the lives of the indigenous people of Abuja.
Its coordinator, Engr. Bussa Danjuma, told journalists in Abuja that though the President had not officially declared his intention to run for second term in office, but his transformation agenda in the Federal Capital Territory had compelled the indigenes of Abuja to embark on early campaign for him.
Danjuma, who is also a commissioner representing FCT in the Revenue Mobilisation Commission, said the group had signaled the campaign by erecting bill boards in all the strategic locations in the territory a few months ago.
When asked to state in specific terms some of the achievements of the present administration in the FCT, the coordinator said the infrastructural development in the territory within the tenure of President Jonathan’s administration is unprecedented, adding that the involvement of the indigenes in policy formulation in the FCT Administration has brought about immense benefits to the original inhabitants of Abuja.
He said: “The FCT indigenes are not blind people. Before we come up with this position, we have compared notes with previous administrations of the territory. To be honest, the appointment of Senator Bala Mohammed as FCT Minister by President Jonathan is a blessing for us. Before his appointment, no minister of the FCT seeks our input in any policy formulation.”
