The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister of State, Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) is focused, and determined to win the six area councils in the forthcoming area council elections, and subsequent general elections.
The minister, who spoke at a stakeholders meeting of the APC in FCT, also stressed that members of the party have identified the problems of the party, and are ready to confront the challenges head-on.
She reiterated that the selfish interest of some identified individuals, should not override the collective interest of the party.
“I can see that the APC in FCT is taking shape and becoming more focused on the way forward. We have identified where our problems lie, and we are more united to overcome them.
“The result of our unity will manifest more in the area council elections, and the general elections come 2027,” she said.
The minister affirmed that the creation of the FCT Youth and Women Secretariat by President Bola Tinubu was a deliberate, and strategic attempt to carry the youth and women along in the FCT.
