The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, Thursday, said the chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Hon. Christopher Zakka Maikalangu took the best decision by joining the ruling party, adding that more than 60 per cent of FCT is now APC.
While proclaiming that the good work of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made all the area councils in the FCT to embrace APC, Ganduje said: “Ladies and gentlemen, as part of that Renewed Hope Agenda, today we have started seeing that FCT will be converted to APC. Today, we have a great political giant, we have the chairman of AMAC, which is the most popular local government in the FCT.
“The chairman with all his elected councilors, with all his appointed councilors, with all the politicians from PDP, have decided to come to our great party, the APC. He has come with his thousands of supporters.
“Also, we have decampees from Bwari area council. We have decampees from Kuje area council, we have decampees from Abaji area council, we have decampees from Kwali area council and we have decampees from Gwagwala area council.
“Almost all the politicians, all the people, more than 60% of the FCT is now APC.”
While speaking, Maikalangu assured that he won’t abandon his supporters as a result of joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He stated that he joined the ruling party in order to continue the delivery of the dividends of democracy to AMAC residents.
He said: “After careful consultation with stakeholders, community leaders, youth and women groups, and the good people of AMAC, I have made the decision to officially join the APC.
“Let me be clear, this move is not about personal ambition. It is about aligning AMAC with the center of power so that we can unlock greater opportunities for our people. It is about ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every corner of our communities -from Nyanya to Karshi, from Karu to Jikwoyi, from Garki to Wuse.”
