​Speaking to reporters, stakeholders, and community leaders on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, Shekwolo stated that his previous remarks were taken out of context and sensationalized across various news platforms and social media, creating a distorted narrative regarding his administration’s core values and official stance.

​The Executive Chairman affirmed that he holds no authority to disenfranchise any resident or citizen of Kuje Area Council of their fundamental human rights.
​
He reiterated that his administration remains dedicated to equitable governance, community progress, and serving the best interests of all constituents regardless of political affiliation, ethnic background, or religious beliefs.
​
While acknowledging the press as a critical pillar of democracy, Shekwolo urged journalists to uphold high professional standards by verifying the full context of statements prior to publication.

​"At no point did I intend to cause disaffection, undermine any group, or promote policies that do not serve the best interest of our citizens.

"Our doors remain open for constructive feedback, dialogue, and accurate reporting."

​The Chairman concluded his address by inviting all residents to collaborate with his administration to advance the overall growth and development of Kuje Area Council and the Federal Capital Territory.


ADDRESS BY THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF KUJE AREA COUNCIL, HON. DANJUMA SAMUEL SHEKWOLO, ON THE RECENT MEDIA MISREPRESENTATION

Wednesday 26 August 2026


​Protocol:


​Distinguished members of the press, respected stakeholders, leaders of thought, and the great people of Kuje Area Council.

​I address you today to set the record straight regarding recent reports circulating across various news platforms and social media.

​In public governance, clarity, truth, and transparency are essential.

In recent days, certain statements I made were taken out of context and sensationalized, leading to a distorted narrative that does not reflect my true intent, core values, or the official position of this administration.

​While I deeply respect the press and its vital role as a pillar of our democracy, it is crucial to clarify what the intent of the message was for and who.

The remarks in question was made in a specific context aimed at addressing administrative efficiency, local development, and community welfare.

You may recall that the event that led to the unfortunate incidents was meeting with the APC party youths and loyalist .

And as the Executive Chairman of Kuje Area Council, I have no right to disenfranchise any residence or citizen of their fundamental human rights in the council.

​Let me state unequivocally: our administration remains fully committed to inclusive governance, equity, and the total progress of every community in Kuje Area Council.

At no point did I intend to cause disaffection, undermine any group, or promote policies that do not serve the best interest of our citizens.

​I urge the good people of Kuje Area Council and the general public regardless of their political affiliation, religious or ethnic differences to join hands with our administration to make kuje the area council of our dreams.

​I also appeal to members of the media to maintain high standards of professional journalism by verifying context before publication because we are partners in progress.


Our doors remain open for constructive feedback, dialogue, and accurate reporting.

​Thank you, and may God bless Kuje Area Council and the Federal Capital Territory.

Mschew na so

Damage control don start because all those who are in APC's cult can say or do whatever without fear or repercussions

Same thing with most of them here on this forum - they are quick to spew whatever thrash comes to there head first before considering to think.

These APC people usually talk before they think, very anyhow people

Wike must be putting them under pressure to deliver. Only problem is Abuja has some elements ready to challenge anyone. They aren't posh like rivers ooo. Imagine those okada boys gather to treat your f.up

Of course, they are always taken out of context like those of your fellow touts in government and in Sycophants Whatsapp.

SeeWahala:

The man is a foolish man. What is the point of making threats only to deny them later. In the video, he even said, that they can record him and take it anywhere that he means what he said...

That's Wike speaking in another body.

Foolish people! Why do they always say things that need clarification or some other interpretation?

If I say na a.i.r dey APC people brain, dem go ban me, why?

When will we start breaking bottles on the heads of these rascals parading themselves as politicians?

At no point did I intend to cause disaffection, undermine any group, or promote policies that do not serve the best interest of our citizens.

All is fair in politics


Jonathan Slams APC, Says There's "Bitterness In Thier Hearts"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32aKgc0j0Ws

Jonathan became a Prophet

Every time you listen to them, you see the bitterness in their hearts. Bitter anger, as if somebody has taken their property... venom. And I said look, you cannot give what you don't have. If you don't have a peaceful heart, a friendly heart, you cannot bring peace to people... You set this country ablaze.

But over time you see that there is no difference in the P in APC and PDP. After all, Wike is in both of them too.

GExcess:

And internet doesn't forget, ow day APC will not being power..

Lol...

Well, nothing will happen to him because he has already passed the message that needed to be passed.

Like I always say, bat is fully involved and in the know of all these threats being made by his aides, touts, senators, ministers, governors etc. These are things they have discussed and boasted about in private.

If not, the Council chairman would not have been so bold to threaten law abiding residents of the Council who may have an alternative party in mind to support.

No talk about the insecurity in your hometown and people been murdered in cold blood,the talk about 2027, all this illiterate uneducated that just got position,from there words you know that not like been civil and diplomacy,having know people have there choice candidate but illiteracy will make you act like agbero

Politicians should undergo Public Speaking tutorials, so that they won't have to be trying to explain and explain

This is no different than what Mc Oluomo also did in Lagos. Same template.

Same way the other imbeside in Osun went about "clarifying" his own similar statement.

Party of unintelligent thugs that keep misyarning and clarifying.

It is a high time we started putting this bunch of criminal to death, either by stoning them or hanging tire on their necks, I think we have to really show them the street crazy.

Like Shekwolo, like Fadahunsi, like MC Oluomo. Tinubu is demonstrating that the law will only apply to you if you are in the opposition and that you can get away with anything, including murder, as long as you support him.

Stand your ground and defend yourselves and your votes

Don't let them intimidate you, freedom from terr**sts comes at a cost,

They will face justice after defeat.

Apc is a terrorist organisation.

what is there to clarify, the osun senator did it nd there was no consequence, police invite him in over to watch Netflix nd he went back home no deterrence, even the presidency didnt condemn it

what Mc oluomo started in lagos 2023, is gradually taking form toward another election ...Maybe Companies MD will be the next vote Tinubu or lose your job

the level we are taking sycophancy under Tinubu even God go need raise the sky up make e no pass am ...

The dunce is scared now. Even the so-called APC loyalists have a right to vote whoever they want. What's the point in threatening them they better leave and not vote at all, rather than vote an opposition candidate, otherwise something will happen to them?

DSS should invite and querry people like you for careless public utterances if you don't realize that your office has any significance

JealousCobra:
When will we start breaking bottles on the heads of these rascals parading themselves as politician?

😂 Sooner than you can imagine

Something must be really wrong with all these apc politicians no civilised society will ever tolerate these guys to preside over their collective affairs.

Just mount on election day, you go confirm am

APC think we can't reason, something you repeated on video, over and over. I know police will do nothing. Why must you say people shouldnot vote in democracy, is this not myopic?

Pls, everybody will you keep kwayet!!!!

Obi supporters started this madness and let's play it that way.

I remember one obi supporter in 2023 build up cagorically told me he will behead me for standing against obi, that is not even enough in total till date I have received over 300 threatened text messages and emails from obi supporters and these are part of the reasons I will h8te to his grave.

We warned you obi supporters then when you threatening everybody, rufai oseni on live show threatened to kill Reno cus of obi, I remember the threat on akpororo life, Sheyi Law and his baby, Toyin Abraham etc you forgot we will give you back your food ba? You haven't seen anything yet more is coming.

Una think say na only una get craze for head ba? We craze pass una. We go chase you all to the wall its pay back time so don't complain what you started cus of this nonsense if I set my eyes on any obi supporter e dey always do me like to kpai d pesin I so much h8te dem like dey should all kpai at once.

Keep kwayetiii abeg.

Statements like these can only emanate from a failed nation or a Banana Republic.
Prior to the Osun gubernatorial election, a serving senator made his own unwarranted statement and nothing happened.
Here in Rivers state, some local government chairpersons have been making their own anti democratic statements.
Earlier this month, a building was razed down in Aluu in Rivers state simply because an ADC member held a political meeting in his residence.

He is not the first;

buhari said worse, yet he was rewarded with presidency.

Oshomole did tell widows to go and die.

Oluoma di his part.

Okpebolo did more.

One apc chairman in edo was there too.

Oba of lagooon nko?

Infact, we are used to threat, killings, maiming and inhumane treatments by our rulers.


Until you and i wake up from slumber, the tunnel still long o.

Please Nigerians should forward this anti democratic statements to embassies of government across the world in case their is violence on the day of election.

Let him and his family be place under careful watchlist.


Nonsense!
