FCT Poll: Shock As PDP Chairmanship Candidate Steps Down For APC Candidate In Bwari

By Adesina Soyooye

A few days to Council Election in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Julius Adamu, the Chairmanship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bwari Area Council, has stepped down for his All Progressives Congress, APC, counterpart, Joshua Ishaku Musa.

The election is scheduled to hold on February 21. Speculation is that this was the handiwork of the

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike who a couple of days ago, swore he would support only the Candidates who are in support of President Bola Tinubu. He, also, said he would see to it that those not in support of the President, would fail at the polls.

Not a few people protested what they saw as Wike’s intimidation and threat. The African Democratic Congress, ADC, protested and urged Mr President to calk Wike to order.

.

For the records, Wike still claims to not only be a member of the PDP but its most important member. In this election, therefore, with  Wike, a PDP member as the Minister, the expectation was that it is the APC Candidate that should, on the Minister’s lobbying, stand down for the PDP Candidate.
