President Bola Tinubu has extended his congratulations to the candidates who emerged victorious in the latest elections held in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as well as Kano and Rivers states. This acknowledgment comes directly from a statement released by Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, emphasizing the credibility of the electoral process overseen by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The elections included various positions within the FCT’s six area councils and by-elections in state constituencies in Rivers and Kano, showcasing a broad engagement in the democratic process.

The elections saw the All Progressives Congress (APC) claiming victories in several key areas of the FCT, which is significant in showcasing the party's influence and support in the capital. In particular, the APC won in Abaji, Kwali, AMAC (Abuja Municipal Area Council), and Bwari Area Councils, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secured victories in other areas. Tinubu's commendation not only recognizes the winners but also highlights the ongoing political dynamics in Nigeria, particularly between these two major parties, APC and PDP.

Additionally, President Tinubu praised the leadership of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, a notable figure in Nigerian politics who has been instrumental in shaping the political landscape in his region. Wike’s leadership has often been noted for its confrontational stance towards federal initiatives, making his victories in these elections particularly noteworthy. Tinubu’s acknowledgment of Wike may also signal a desire for reconciliation or cooperation in future governance strategies, potentially indicating a shift in political alliances amidst Nigeria's evolving political climate.
