The Executive Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Hon. Danjuma Samuel Shekwolo, has reaffirmed his commitment to the political vision of the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, following an interactive meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders under the Rainbow Coalition in Kwali Area Council.
Shekwolo joined Wike and other prominent political leaders at the meeting, which brought together traditional rulers, youths, women, party leaders and other stakeholders from across the Federal Capital Territory to deliberate on political cooperation, inclusive governance and sustainable development.
Among the dignitaries at the gathering were the APC FCT Senatorial Candidate, Distinguished Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda; APC Abuja South House of Representatives candidate, Hon. Danladi Bomboyi Chiya; APC FCT Chairman, Hon. Ishaku Tanko Yamawo; and PDP FCT Chairman, Hon. Ismaila Dogara.
Former senators, ex-lawmakers and former area council chairmen were also in attendance.
Speaking during the meeting, various stakeholders from Kwali commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the FCT Minister for their contributions to infrastructural development, youth empowerment, political inclusiveness and appointments into strategic positions.
They, however, appealed for the completion of ongoing and outstanding road projects, particularly the Yebu Road linking Kwali and Kuje, while also calling for improved welfare and adequate representation of councillors across the FCT.
The Etsu Kwali and other speakers equally reiterated their support for the administration, emphasising the need for sustained unity and cooperation among political stakeholders.
In his address, Wike expressed appreciation to the area council chairmen and other political leaders for embracing the Rainbow Coalition, noting that political engagement should be driven by the desire to promote good governance, unity and development rather than division.
The Minister urged political leaders and residents to place the collective interest of the FCT above personal and partisan considerations, while encouraging them to make informed political decisions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He also called on stakeholders to support President Tinubu, Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda and Hon. Danladi Bomboyi Chiya in their respective political ambitions.
In his remarks, Shekwolo commended the FCT Minister for his inclusive leadership style, commitment to infrastructural development and willingness to engage stakeholders and address issues affecting residents of the territory.
The Kuje chairman reaffirmed his administration’s support for the FCT Minister and the broader political agenda of the Rainbow Coalition, expressing confidence that the APC would record a decisive victory in Kuje Area Council in the forthcoming elections.
He attributed his optimism to what he described as visible developmental interventions and increasing political support for the party across the area.
The meeting ended with a renewed commitment among political stakeholders to strengthen cooperation, promote political stability and sustain development across the Federal Capital Territory.
