A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Honourable Stephen Ajiya, has extolled the ability of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Barrister Nyesom Wike, emphasising his ability to fulfill promises.

Recall that the Minister of the FCT, Barrister Nyesom Wike, in the course of the 2027 political campaign, made a promise to lobby the President for two additional senatorial districts and six additional House of Representatives seats, in addition to the existing ones, to balance legislation in the FCT.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Sun, the Director of the Senator Philip T. Aduda Metre support group, Hon. Stephen Abraham Ajiya, stated that the minister was a God-sent to the people of the FCT, as he had promised to approach President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for an Executive Bill to the National Assembly on the creation of two additional senatorial seats and six additional federal constituencies for the FCT.

Hon. Ajiya, however, corroborated the minister, saying, “Truth is truth. I wonder why some people are afraid to speak the truth. You people in the FCT have been cheated. How can you have only one Senator, when smaller states have three? How can a population of over six million people be represented by only two House members? This is not right, and Mr President will correct this.”

Ajiya, however, praised the efforts of the president, saying, “Indeed, in Tinubu, our hope has been renewed. Our status as citizens of Nigeria has greatly improved. With more seats in the parliament, the voice of the original inhabitants and residents will be fully represented.”
