Wike to Recommend Julius Adamu for FCT UBEC Chair Position
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has pledged to recommend Julius Adamu, a former chairmanship candidate for the Bwari Area Council from the Peoples Democratic Party, to President Bola Tinubu for the position of Chairman of the FCT Universal Basic Education Commission. Wike made this announcement in a video shared by his media aide, Lere Olayinka.
The recommendation follows the recent council chairmanship election, where Joshua Ishaku of the All Progressives Congress was declared the winner with 18,466 votes. Wike, who is the coordinator for the APC Presidential Campaign Council in the FCT, acknowledged Adamu as a formidable candidate but stated that he persuaded him to step down for Ishaku to ensure a united front for Tinubu's re-election in 2027.
Wike confirmed that he would send Adamu's name to the President for appointment immediately after the meeting, highlighting the support from the community for this decision.
