FCT election: Seems Atiku, Peter Obi not winning anything – Wike’s aide mocks ADC chieftains

Lere Olayinka, the spokesman for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has mocked chieftains of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, over the ongoing area council elections.

Olayinka stated that the ADC under Atiku and Obi “isn’t winning anything” in the current council election.

Posting on X, he wrote: “E dey be like say Atiku and Peter Obi’s ADC isn’t winning anything in this FCT Area Council Elections.”

This comes as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate and incumbent Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu, secured victory in his polling unit.

Results showed that Maikalangu won with 229 votes, defeating his closest rival, Dr. Moses Paul of the ADC, who received 15 votes.

Maikalangu, who cast his ballot earlier in the day, spoke to journalists about the voting experience, praising the efficiency of the process.
