A coalition of Abuja stakeholders has renewed the campaign for full democratic rights in the nation’s capital, insisting that residents must elect a governor for the Federal Capital Territory in the 2027 general elections.
The demand, made on Sunday by the FCT Senior Citizens Forum at a press briefing in Abuja, revived the long-running debate over the political status of the Federal Capital Territory. The group said Abuja’s current system of administration has outlived its relevance and no longer reflects the democratic expectations of its residents.
