Wike's Contradictory Remarks  on Abaji Chairman Stir Political Reactions in FCT ...As FCT residents Prefer Hon. Abubakar Abdullahi ahead of Senatorial Election  Recent contrasting remarks attributed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, about the Chairman of Abaji Area Council, Abubakar Umar Abdullahi, have sparked conversations within political circles in Abuja. Wike had earlier acknowledged Abdullahi’s leadership capacity, describing the council chairman,popularly known as AUA,as a humble leader with a deep understanding of his people’s needs. He was also quoted as saying he had “rarely seen a chairman with such humility,” adding that Abdullahi was “destined for greater things.” However, recent developments suggest a shift in tone, as the same Abdullahi has reportedly been referred to as a “small boy” in what observers interpret as a reflection of changing political dynamics ahead of the 2027 general elections. The apparent contradi...

At the centre of this renewed conversation is a growing call by stakeholders—particularly from the Abuja South axis, comprising Abaji, Gwagwalada, Kuje, and Kwali Area Councils—for what they describe as a long-overdue opportunity to produce the next senator representing the FCT. Since Nigeria’s return to democratic rule in 1999, the FCT has been represented in the Senate by a mix of indigenous and non-indigenous politicians. Among them are Khairat Abdulrazaq Gwadabe, Isah Maina, Usman Jibrin Wowo, Sidi Ali, Philip Aduda, and the incumbent, Ireti Heebah Kingibe. A cl...
