2027 Senate : A Clarion Call for Youth Representation Under the Umbrella of FCT Council

Young progressive leaders across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have thrown their weight behind Hon. Abubakar Umar Abdullahi, describing him as a dynamic, people-centered, and result-driven leader with the capacity to represent the interests of the people at the Senate.

They noted that with over 64 percent of registered voters being young people, the demand for inclusive and youth-focused representation has never been more urgent.

According to the group, Hon. Abdullahi,the current Abaji Chair,embodies the energy, vision, and commitment needed to drive meaningful change and amplify the voices of young Nigerians within the National Assembly.

The youth leaders therefore called on him to heed the growing demand and step forward to contest for the FCT Senate seat, stressing that his candidacy would mark a turning point in the push for generational inclusion in governance.
.
“This is our moment,The future belongs to the youth—and that future is now. ” the statement read. “The rise of young progressives begins now.”
