FCT Council poll: Atiku rallies support for ADC’s candidate Moses Paul
The former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar on Thursday, joined Moses Paul (Dr Mo), the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chairmanship candidate for Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) in the forthcoming Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Council election in his campaign trail.
Atiku joined Paul in the rally which started from the Wasa area of the FCT through Area 1 Shopping Complex in Garki and Zone 4.
The former vice president said the bid to oust the present administration led by President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) begins with the FCT Council elections scheduled to take place on February 21.
According to the Atiku who is also a leader in the coalition party, the ADC remains the best opposition party to dislodge the APC in all elections.
He also noted that the best way to guarantee against the ruling party was for the people to come out in large numbers to vote for the ADC.
“The APC has failed us as a people and if we don’t send them away, they will cause more damage. The campaign to end the sufferings that the APC has brought upon us starts with the election into the FCT Area Councils,” Atiku said.
Accusing the APC-led government of being characterised by fraud and forgery, Atiku said the alleged forgery and controversy enveloping the processes of the electoral amendment and the gazette of the tax reform law are what the ruling party is known for.
Atiku used the opportunity of the rally to appeal to Nigerians to register en masse for the membership of the ADC, as the party kickstarts its membership registration exercise today.
“I emphasised to voters to ensure that they defy every intimidation and vote for the ADC, and to register for their Personal Voters Card (PVC) in order to begin the true change we expect to see,” Atiku added.
