Basiru: Why ADC Says FCT Elections Lacked Credibility

The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is alleging that the FCT elections were not free and fair because its candidates suffered a decisive defeat.

Basiru made this statement on Tuesday during an interview on
Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ .

He said while the APC is doing its best to mobilise,
organise, create structure, and think ahead, others were eating groundnuts in
markets and doing skits, stressing that such was not politics.

“Most of the time, people turn themselves to comedians
because they are in the political space.

“We just had an election two weeks ago, and they are still
saying the elections were not free and fair because their candidates lost
woefully.

“Before the election, we saw them saying that the signpost
for the 2027 election is the FCT polls. Out of 62 councilorship seats, they
can’t win one. Out of six chairmanship seats, they can’t win one

“On that same day, two bye-elections were held in Rivers and
Kano states each and were won by the APC,” he said.
