Tinubu's Strategy Secures APC Victory in FCT Elections

In a recent statement, Wike explained that the success of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections was largely due to President Bola Tinubu's directives. The elections took place on February 21, 2026, and the APC emerged victorious in five out of six area council chairmanship positions.

Wike highlighted that Tinubu's instruction to visit satellite towns was crucial, as it ensured that the government's impact was felt beyond urban centers. He emphasized the importance of extending governance to these areas, which are often overlooked.

Wike, who was appointed as a minister when Tinubu assumed office, noted that the focus on satellite towns rather than just city centers was a key factor in the APC's electoral success.
