PDP presidential aspirant dismisses APC FCT wins
AI Summary
Dr. Gbenga Hashim, a PDP presidential aspirant, told a PDP stakeholders meeting in Abuja that the reported APC victories in the Federal Capital Territory are misleading because many winning candidates were former PDP members who switched parties. He said the contest was effectively between PDP candidates and that state resources were used to create an appearance of competition. The FCT PDP Chairman, Alhaji Ismail Mohammed Dogara, moved a motion reaffirming support for Hashim’s 2027 presidential ambition. The statements suggest the PDP will continue to contest the narrative of APC strength in the FCT ahead of the 2027 elections.
