President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, saying his achievements in the territory yielded political dividends to the governing All Progressives Congress (APC).

On Saturday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted elections in the six area councils of the FCT’, as well as by-elections in Ahoada East II and Khana II state constituencies of Rivers State, as well as in the Kano Municipal and Ungogo constituencies in Kano State.

The ruling APC put up a strong showing winning most of the positions that were up for grabs.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement on Sunday , said the President congratulated the winners of the elections.

The President commended INEC, security agencies and other stakeholders in the election process for their participation and comportment leading to the success of the exercise.

The President urged the winners to serve with “humility, patriotism, and dedication and to view the mandate given to them by the people as a sacred trust.”

President Tinubu particularly commended the FCT Minister, even though a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, for his achievements in the territory, saying it yielded political dividends to the APC.

According to Onanuga, “President Tinubu commends the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for his remarkable achievements in the territory, which have yielded political dividends to the governing All Progressives Congress (APC).

“The President congratulates the APC national leadership, Kano and Rivers leaderships, and all members of the party on the victories at the polls.

“President Tinubu lauds the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, and voters for the peaceful and successful conduct of the elections.

“He further commends the courage and discipline displayed by all the contestants, stating that democracy is enriched with the vibrancy of participation and competition.”

While affirming that the successful conduct of the elections further strengthens democratic culture and institutions, President Tinubu called on “INEC to continue improving its efforts to deliver even more exemplary electoral processes.”

INEC has officially announced Mohammed Kasim of the PDP as the winner of the Gwagwalada Area Council chairmanship in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
