Human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has stated why the
Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja, should have three senators like every
other state in Nigeria.
Speaking at a grassroots mobilization event, Yesufu said in
terms of population, the FCT is more populated than 10 states and in terms of
land mass, it is bigger than eight states.
According to her, there is no reason FCT cannot have three
senators and at least six House of Representatives members.
“The FCT has gone passed the stage where we have to struggle
for one Senator. FCT should have three senators. It will be for the betterment
of Abuja as a whole.
“With this, the good people of Abuja will have more
representatives and their voice will be heard. Instead of one person, you will
have three persons speaking at the red chamber of the National Assembly for the
FCT people.
“This is one of the things I will push for as a Senator.
It’s not going to be easy but it’s doable,” she said.
Recall that Yesufu is running for the FCT senatorial seat in
the 2027 general elections.
