Party stakeholders disclosed that prominent political figures, including His Excellency Peter Obi and His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, are backing Dr. Mo Moses in his bid to secure victory at the polls. According to party leaders, their support underscores the strategic importance of the FCT council elections in shaping grassroots governance and strengthening opposition politics in the nation’s capital.
Speaking during ongoing voter engagement activities across the FCT, party representatives said they have been interfacing with residents to highlight the significance of the election and to explain why ADC candidates represent a credible alternative. They stressed that local council elections play a crucial role in determining the quality of governance, service delivery, and community development at the grassroots level.
The ADC maintained that it has fielded candidates across all area councils in the FCT who possess the competence, capacity, and character required to deliver transparent and accountable leadership. According to the party, Dr. Mo Moses’ candidacy in AMAC reflects its commitment to presenting individuals with proven ability and a clear vision for improving infrastructure, social services, and economic opportunities within the council.
Party officials also called on voters to turn out in large numbers on February 21, 2026, to participate actively in the democratic process. They emphasized that robust voter turnout would strengthen the legitimacy of the electoral outcome and deepen democratic engagement at the local level.
