In a surprising political development ahead of the Bwari Area Council election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairmanship candidate, Julius Adamu, has stepped down in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Joshua Ishaku Musa.
Sources indicate that the decision followed the intervention of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
While full details surrounding the agreement have not yet been officially disclosed, the move is expected to significantly reshape the political landscape of the Bwari Area Council race.
Political observers say the development could signal strategic realignments within the FCT ahead of upcoming local government elections.
At the time of filing this report, neither the PDP nor APC had issued a comprehensive statement outlining the terms of the arrangement.
More details are expected as the situation unfolds.
