CITIZENS COMPASS— The All Progressives Congress (APC), has won five of the six chairmanship positions contested in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, area council elections.

In Bwari Area Council, APC candidate Joshua Ishaku won the chairmanship seat with 18,466 votes.

The Peoples Democratic Party’s Kasim Mohammed won in Gwagwalada Area Council.

In the same vein, APC candidates – Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo, Nuhu Daniel Kwali and Abdullahi Umar Abubakar won the chairmanship elections in Kuje, Kwali and Abaji area councils.

The elections reaffirmed APC’s dominance in the FCT, with only Gwagwalada Area Council going to the opposition PDP.

In a related development, APC won the Saturday election in Ahoada East Constituency 2 and Khana Constituency 2, Napoleon Ukalikpe, and Burabari Loloo in Kano State.

Similarly, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared APC as the winner of the House of Assembly by-election in Rivers State by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

This is just as the African Democratic Congress (ADC), New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday shunned the by-election for the Ungogo and Kano Municipal constituencies in Kano State.
