Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned its candidates for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections against pursuing personal interests that could compromise the party’s chances of winning in February 2026.
PDP FCT Chairman, Ismail Dogara, issued the warning while handing over INEC nomination forms to the party’s candidates in Abuja.
Dogara announced that the party would field six chairmanship and 62 councillorship candidates, expressing confidence in a landslide victory.
“Our goal is to win,” Dogara said. “Personal ambition, if it doesn’t align with the party’s, can cost us the election.”
Former House of Representatives member Micha Jibah urged the candidates to be bold and persistent in their campaign efforts.
Kasim Mohammed, Gwagwalada chairmanship candidate, thanked party leaders for the opportunity to contest and called for unity within the party to ensure victory.
Mohammed appealed to party leaders to remain responsive throughout the campaign period. “Please, if there’s anything we need, be there for us. Don’t hesitate to respond in times of need,” he said.
The candidates expressed confidence in the party’s chances, citing their mobilization efforts and the party’s people’s-oriented approach.
