Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has urged voters in Abuja to reject the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the upcoming 2026 FCT council elections, describing the polls as a chance for Nigerians to demand change.
In a post shared on his social media page, Atiku said he was
joined by other ADC leaders, including former Anambra State governor Peter Obi,
where they engaged voters on the importance of the upcoming polls.
“This election is very important. It will say a lot about
how ready the managers of our elections are to deliver free, fair and credible
polls,” he said, adding that it would also show how prepared citizens are to
demand political change.
He urged residents to turn out in large numbers to support
ADC candidates, stating: “Our party has fielded candidates with competence,
capacity and character to offer quality leadership across local councils in
Abuja.”
Atiku also called on voters to resist intimidation. “Voters
have the responsibility to defy all forms of intimidation and make the right
choice,” he said.
The former vice president criticised the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) and the administration of President Bola Tinubu,
accusing the government of failing to address key national challenges.
“The APC-led Federal Government has failed citizens on many
fronts,” he said, arguing that the FCT elections present an opportunity for
voters to begin voting the party out.
“APC must be voted out in the coming elections, and we
should start with the FCT elections.”
