Ahead of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate for Bwari Area Council, Julius Adamu has withdrawn from the race and thrown his support behind Ishaku Musa, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joshua.
Adamu, who made the announcement less than 72 hours before the election, cited consultation with FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike as the basis for his decision.
Adamu said, “After intensive discussions with Minister Wike I have come to the conclusion that Joshua and I are like brothers. It would not be right for two brothers to fight for one office.” “I am stepping aside and urging all my supporters to vote for Joshua to ensure his victory.”
Speaking at the event, Minister Wike encouraged Bwari residents to support Musa while promising development in the area. He said, “If you vote for Joshua, I will provide more roads and infrastructure for Bwari. Make sure Joshua wins this election on Saturday.”
The last minute political realignment is expected to have a significant impact on the outcome of the Bwari Area Council elections.
