The Digest:

Dr. Paul Moses, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), has issued a bold challenge to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike ahead of Saturday's council elections, declaring, "Tell Wike AMAC is not Obio-Akpor, he cannot write votes in here, we own this city." In a video shared on X, Moses vowed to resist any attempt by the minister to influence the outcome, referencing Wike's political dominance in his native Rivers State. The statement has sparked widespread reactions, with supporters praising his "boldness" while urging him to match words with action. Social media users noted the significance of Saturday's poll as a test of opposition strength against the ruling APC ahead of the 2027 general elections. One commentator remarked: "These small Elections will determine how the Presidential Election will be."

Key Points:
  • Moses's defiance tests Wike's political influence beyond Rivers State in a direct electoral contest.
  • It energises opposition supporters seeking proof that the APC can be challenged.
  • ADC gains visibility, while Wike faces a credibility test in FCT.
  • This signals the high stakes of Saturday's council polls as a 2027 predictor.
  • The timing, hours before voting, mobilises opposition voters.

ADC's AMAC candidate Dr Paul Moses, dares Wike on the eve of the FCT polls, declaring the territory "not Obio-Akpor" and vowing residents will resist manipulation.
