Dr. Moses Paul, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), chairmanship candidate for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), has officially rejected the results of the recently concluded FCT Area Council election.
In a statement issued on Monday, Dr. Paul accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), of showing blatant disregard for the rights and feelings of Nigerians.
While the All Progressives Congress (APC), was declared victorious in five of the six area councils, with Christopher Maikalangu winning AMAC, Dr. Paul insists the announced figures do not reflect the true will of the people.
The ADC candidate alleged that the electoral process was compromised by several critical factors, including the imposition of curfews that restricted movement and reports of security forces harassing party members.
He further cited large-scale bribery and the late arrival of essential election materials at key polling stations, such as Kabusa, as evidence of a flawed process. Dr. Paul maintained that based on the movement’s ground support from Karshi to Wuse, his party had rightfully earned the trust of the electorate.
Despite the setback, Dr. Paul expressed profound gratitude to his supporters, describing their participation as a powerful statement of pride and resilience.
He vowed that the movement, built on sacrifice rather than force, remains strengthened by the experience.
By rejecting the results, he aims to challenge what he describes as an assault on democracy and continues to advocate for a future where the voices of Abuja residents are accurately represented.
