The All Progressive Congress APC has
0:02
emerged dominant in the recent FCT
0:05
council polls, securing a majority of
0:08
chairmanship and counselorship positions
0:10
across the federal capital territory.
0:13
According to official results released
0:16
by electoral authorities, the ruling
0:18
party recorded sweeping victories in
0:21
several areas council strengthening its
0:24
grassroots presence in Nigeria's
0:26
capital. Party leaders have described
0:28
the outcome as a clear endorsement of
0:30
their policies and governance approach
0:33
within the FCT. Observers note that the
0:37
APC's campaign strategy focused heavily
0:40
on community engagement, mobilization at
0:43
the world level, and leveraging its
0:46
existing political structure.
0:49
Analysts also point to voter turnout
0:52
patterns and opposition fragmentation as
0:56
contributing factors to the party's
0:58
strong performance. However, opposition
1:02
parties have raised concerns in some
1:05
quarters calling for review of certain
1:08
results while urging supporters to
1:10
remain calm and committed to democratic
1:12
processes.
1:14
The outcome of the council polls is
1:17
being seen as politically significant,
1:20
especially as local government elections
1:22
often serve as indicators of broader
1:25
political momentum ahead of larger
1:28
contests.

>> We must unite now. We must have one
1:56
army. We must have one currency. We must
2:00
have one foreign policy. We must be
2:04
united.
2:07
And I can hear the Osagia for saying I
2:12
do not want to be the leader of that
2:14
country. I [music] simply want unity.
2:16
And I'm saying that we must leave here
2:19
with one united government. They listen
2:22
not to the Osag.
