The Chairman of Kwali Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nuhu Kwali, has pledged the council’s support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He also assured FCT Minister Nyesom Wike that residents, including youths and women, would mobilise behind candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly Senator Philip Aduda for the FCT Senate seat and Danladi Chiya for Abuja South Federal Constituency.

Kwali made the commitment on Monday, November 9, 2026, during a stakeholders’ meeting involving members of the APC and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) under the Rainbow Coalition in the area.

He said the council was prepared to mobilise residents and political stakeholders to support the candidates, expressing confidence in the coalition’s ability to secure strong electoral backing in 2027.

Chairman highlights infrastructure projects

The council chairman commended Wike for infrastructure projects across the FCT, particularly road construction and rehabilitation in rural communities.

He said improved road networks had made movement between communities easier and enhanced access to previously underserved areas.

Kwali also highlighted the installation of streetlights, saying the facilities had improved night-time movement and security.

He described the minister as a leader with the capacity to drive development and urged him to continue creating opportunities for grassroots political leaders, particularly young people.

The chairman further cited cooperation among former council chairmen, irrespective of party affiliation, during the last council election as evidence of growing political collaboration in the area.

He also commended the 62 councillors representing wards across the FCT for their solidarity, describing the councillorship system as an important pathway for grassroots political participation.

Youths declare readiness to mobilise

Speaking on behalf of the Rainbow Coalition youths in Kwali, Abubakar Sadiq praised the FCT administration’s infrastructure projects in satellite towns and its civil service reforms.

He said young people in the area were prepared to support Tinubu’s re-election, arguing that the administration had delivered benefits to residents.

Sadiq also commended Wike’s leadership, while stressing that public office holders must remain conscious of the expectations attached to their responsibilities.

Women pledge electoral support

The council chairman’s Special Assistant on Women Affairs, Abigail Etsu, also expressed support for the President and the candidates endorsed by the coalition.

She assured Wike that women in Kwali would participate in the mobilisation effort and support Tinubu, Aduda and Chiya in the coming elections.

The endorsements reflect efforts by political stakeholders in the FCT to build support networks ahead of the 2027 polls.

However, the declarations made at the meeting represent political commitments by the participants. Their eventual electoral impact will be determined by voters when the elections take place.
