The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned its candidates for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Area Council elections against pursuing personal ambitions that could undermine the party’s chances of victory in Feb. 2026.
Chairman of the PDP FCT chapter, Ismail Dogara, issued the warning on Monday in Abuja while handing over INEC nomination forms to the party’s candidates.
Dogara announced that the PDP would field six chairmanship and 62 councillorship candidates, expressing confidence in a sweeping victory.
“During my campaign before emerging as state chairman, I said it time and again, this party is too big to remain silent. And that is why we will not be silent.
“The nomination forms are here, including those for vice chairmen. Our goal is to win. Personal ambition, if it doesn’t align with the party’s, can cost us the election,” Dogara said.
Former House of Representatives member Micha Jibah, urged the candidates to be bold and persistent in their campaign efforts, commending their courage in stepping forward.
Speaking on behalf of the candidates, Gwagwalada chairmanship, Kasim Mohammed, thanked party leaders at all levels for the opportunity to contest under the PDP banner.
