The All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated a 138-member Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Campaign Council and unveiled what it described as a comprehensive roadmap to secure victory in all six area councils in the February 21, 2026 elections.
Inaugurating the council at the party’s headquarters in Abuja, APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, charged members to work assiduously to deliver total victory for the party, and expressed confidence in the leadership of the council, headed by AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, describing the team as experienced and battle-ready.
Yilwatda announced the appointment of three governors — Hope Uzodimma, Mai Mala Buni and Mohammed Umar Bago — as co-chairmen of the high-powered council.
“Our campaign is not selective. It is ongoing across communities, cutting across tribes and regions. Governors from every geopolitical zone are engaging directly with the people. We are mobilising more than any other party, and we are confident of victory,” Yilwatda said.
In his remarks, AbdulRazaq thanked the party leadership for the confidence reposed in the council, describing the task as both a responsibility and an opportunity to deepen democratic dividends for FCT residents.
“This campaign is not just about rallies; it is about results — winning through strategy, effective mobilisation and genuine grassroots engagement,” he said.
He noted that the composition of the council reflects Abuja’s status as a melting pot of Nigerians, with representatives and governors drawn from all six geopolitical zones to ensure coordinated outreach and effective mobilisation across communities. “With dedication, discipline and unity, we are confident of victory across all six area councils,” AbdulRazaq affirmed.
Other prominent members of the council include Governors Uba Sani, Peter Mbah, Hyacinth Alia, Sheriff Oborevwori, Monday Okpebholo, Biodun Oyebanji, Francis Nwifuru and Umo Eno, as well as Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen.
