A prominent member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has stated that the recently concluded FCT Area Council elections were conducted without a clear legal framework.
Okonkwo made this statement during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday.
He was commenting on the FCT Area Council elections, in which the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, secured victories in five of the six Area Councils.
“Nigerians should not be carried away by what this dubious APC is doing. Up till now, the gazetted copy of the Electoral Act 2026 is not out.
“APC is intentionally hiding everything so that Nigerians do not even understand until it is too late.
“The FCT election was conducted under an unknown law. And this is against the rule of law. Before you implement a law on the people, it must be publicly published,” he said.
The FCT Area Council elections were held on February 21, 2026, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) dominating the polls by winning five out of six chairmanship seats.
The APC secured victories in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Abaji, Bwari, Kwali, and Kuje, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won Gwagwalada Area Council.
