(DDM)– The ruling All Progressives Congress has activated a National Situation Room to monitor developments during the ongoing Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections.
The initiative is being coordinated from the party’s National Secretariat, where members of its monitoring team are reportedly collating and reviewing field reports.
According to party sources, the Situation Room is designed to receive real-time updates from operatives deployed across polling units within the FCT.
The reports are said to include information on voting procedures, logistics, security concerns, and any incidents that may arise during the electoral process.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) stated that its field operatives are working alongside a dedicated monitoring application to transmit verified updates directly to the National Secretariat.
Party officials indicated that the system is intended to ensure prompt documentation and response to issues that may affect the credibility or smooth conduct of the polls.
Hotlines were also released to members of the public and party stakeholders to facilitate the reporting of incidents.
The numbers provided by the party are 09024004490 and 08066889466.
Political parties in Nigeria often establish situation rooms during major elections as part of internal oversight mechanisms.
Such platforms typically serve as coordination centres for legal teams, data analysts, and political strategists monitoring the voting and collation process.
The FCT Area Council elections are considered significant in shaping grassroots governance across the six area councils within Abuja.
Observers note that the establishment of monitoring structures by political parties reflects the high level of interest and competition surrounding the elections.
As voting continues across the territory, attention remains on reports from polling units and the official updates expected from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which is responsible for conducting and announcing the results of the polls.
