AI Summary

The All Progressives Congress (APC) won five of the six area councils in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in elections held on February 21, with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) securing Gwagwalada. President Bola Tinubu and APC officials praised the conduct and results, while the PDP called on INEC to release results for two wards in Kuje and claimed a lead there. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the winner for Gwagwalada as Mohammed Kasim of the PDP and denied reports of voter migration. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission reported arrests related to electoral offences, and the ADC candidate in AMAC disputed the outcome.
