Peter Obi Storms FCT Ahead Of Council Election

Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, alongside members of the African Democratic Party (ADC) have led a campaign tour ahead of the council election within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Obi disclosed the development in a post on his 𝕏 account. His first visit was on Wednesday to the popular Kugbo furniture market which was affected by a fire outbreak.

He assured traders at that market square who were victims of the fire outbreak that “despite the setbacks they faced, they will recover and thrive again with the right support”.

He wrote “At a time when many Nigerian are grappling with deepening hardship and poverty, such losses are especially painful.”

He went ahead to state that “This incident once again underscores my consistent call for a comprehensive reform of our emergency response systems.”

A nation that truly cares for its people must invest in efficient, well coordinated emergency services that respond promptly and effectively to crises saving lives and livelihoods.”

The former Governor of Anambra State also visited a local market alongside Moses Paul, the ADC chairmanship candidate for the Abuja Municipal Area Council election.

Obi said the visit was aimed at strengthening community engagement ahead of the polls, emphasizing the importance of active citizen participation.

He added, “We must work towards a Nigeria where preventable tragedies are avoided, and where institutions operate effectively for the benefit of all.”
