The All Progressives Congress (APC) won five of the six area councils in the FCT, highlighting the ruling party’s continued strength in the territory.
Speaking in a special broadcast following the election, Wike said the polls exposed politicians who engaged in deceptive campaign tactics.
“This election has indeed shown that Nigerians now know the ruling party and the real opposition party,” he said.
He criticised campaign strategies aimed at misleading voters, adding:
“The election has further exposed the hypocrisy of people who go about buying corn and groundnuts from roadside sellers for the purpose of a campaign just to deceive Nigerians.”
Wike also praised residents of the FCT for their discernment, commending them for rejecting politicians who fail to acknowledge national progress.
“The residents of FCT demonstrated that they cannot be deceived by emergency democrats, who have chosen not to see anything good in our country and its government,” he said.
The former governor credited the peaceful conduct of the election to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership and development agenda.
“I thank Mr President for the development he has brought to the FCT,” he added.
“This election is a reflection of the president’s vision and leadership, and a testimony that the Renewed Hope Agenda has brought optimism and confidence to the people of the FCT. No doubt, the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to improving the lives of Nigerians, particularly the residents of the FCT, has not gone unnoticed. The Renewed Hope Agenda has given us hope for a brighter future, and we are confident that under his leadership, the FCT will continue to be a model of development and progress.”
