Traditional rulers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have pledged their support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, saying residents of satellite towns are seeing real government impacts for the first time in many years.
The Gomo of Kuje, Alhaji Dr Haruna C. Jibrin; the Esu Sa’Rubochi, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Pada; and the Etsu of Kwali, Luka Ayedo Nizassan, made this known while receiving members of the FCT Renewed Hope Ambassadors in their palaces on Thursday.
Speaking in Rubochi, the Esu Sa’Rubochi praised the appointment of Hon. Adamu Abdullahi, popularly known as Candido, as Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors.
He said government presence is now clearly felt in the area, adding that “even the blind can feel the presence of government in Rubochi.”
He assured President Tinubu and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of his total support and promised to use his influence to help the All Progressives Congress (APC) record a landslide victory in future elections.
In Kuje, the Gomo of Kuje commended the massive improvement in road infrastructure, noting that better roads have attracted businesses and new residents to the town. He said improved connectivity has turned Kuje into a growing economic centre.
According to him, the attention given to Kuje by President Tinubu through the FCT Minister is clear evidence of good governance.
He pledged full mobilisation of his people for the Area Council elections and the President’s re-election, while also praying for unity and success for the Renewed Hope Ambassadors.
At the palace of the Etsu of Kwali, the monarch’s spokesperson and former Area Council Chairman, Hon. Illiya Nizazo, thanked the federal government for appointing the Coordinator and for recognising their son as a minister.
He also praised the infrastructure projects in Kwali, saying they have boosted commercial activities in the area.
He assured President Tinubu that Kwali remains firmly loyal to the APC and encouraged the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to take their message to every community in the FCT.
In his response, Hon. Abdullahi highlighted several development projects executed under President Tinubu’s administration in the FCT, describing Minister Wike as a hardworking and results-driven leader, popularly known as “Mr Project.”
