The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman, in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Mohammed Dogara, has admonished the party’s candidate in the February 2026 FCT Area Council elections to our the interest of the party above individual ambition.
Dogara gave the admonition, on Monday, while presenting the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) nomination forms to the PDP chairmanship and councillorship candidates.
The PDP chairman, while stating that the opposition party cannot be silenced in the FCT, assured the chairmanship candidates that the party will not interfere in their choice of vice chairmanship candidates.
“I said it time without number that this party is too big to be silent. And that is why we will not be silent.
“Please and please, our candidate, ours is to win the election. Your personal ambition can make us to lose that election, if your ambition is not the ambition of the party.
” Let us look for the person that is popular enough to gain votes for us. As we said earlier, we are not going to interfere, and for the fact that we are not going to interfere, please go and do justice”, he stated.
The PDP chairmanship candidate for Gwagwalada Area Council, Kasim Mohammed, who spoke on behalf of other candidates, implored the party leadership to close ranks and work together so that they can go to the polls with a united house.
“We have been there mobilizing people to make sure that they vote for PDP come February 2026. But there are other things you need to do for us. We are never scared because we know that politics is about people, and this party is the people’s party, and the power is in the hands of the people, and I believe these people will give PDP this power, and victory will come in 2026.
“But we need to strive to make sure that we close every gap that will be a hindrance in the process of this election before the election,” he stated
