Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to lobby President Bola Tinubu for two additional senatorial districts and six more House of Representatives seats to balance legislative representation in the FCT.
The minister made the pledge in Kwali Area Council during the 2027 campaign, according to Hon. Stephen Abraham Ajiya, Director of the Senator Philip T. Aduda support group, who spoke to Daily Sun.

Ajiya said Wike would ask the president to send an Executive Bill to the National Assembly for the creation of the two senatorial seats and six federal constituencies.
“You people in the FCT have been cheated,” Ajiya quoted Wike as saying. “How can you have only one Senator, when smaller states have three?”
Wike also asked how over six million people could be represented by only two House members. Ajiya praised Tinubu, saying more seats would ensure the original inhabitants are fully represented.
