The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Monday in Abuja reconciled the warring factions within the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, chapter of the party.
To this end, the National Vice Chairman (North) of the party, Muazu Rijau, inaugurated the new State Working Committee, SWC, and charged them to commence their work immediately.
He gave the directive following the inauguration of the new SWC at the national secretariat of the party on Monday in Abuja.
Speaking with newsmen after the reconciliation meeting, the Zonal Secretary of APC North Central, Yakubu Mohamed, said there had been issues previously, but everything has now been resolved.
He said: “I’m privileged to address you here today to announce the outcome of today’s gathering at the national secretariat with the newly reconciled executive of the party in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) being inaugurated on behalf of the National Working Committee (NWC) by the National Vice Chairman (North), Muazu Bawa Rijau.
“He inaugurated them and asked them to go back to the FCT Secretariat and start working. They are the State Working Committee (SWC).
“There were a lot of issues, but we are now united. The party is united. They will now go back to start on a clean slate and work hard to deliver the party in the Federal Capital Territory.
“Thank God this issue has been resolved. Today, we have an authentic list of the State Executive Committee, as well as the authentic lists of the local government executive and ward excos in the FCT.”
Speaking on the 2026 FCT Council elections, Mohamed assured that they would deliver the FCT to the APC.
He added: “We are promising the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by the special grace of God, that come 2027, we are going to deliver the FCT for the APC.
“We will deliver the six area councils and the 62 wards in the FCT. We assure you, we have no doubt. We are now united, and this unity will extend down to the wards,” he declared.
