2023: How 3 Non-Indigenes Dislodged Age-Long Tradition In FCT Politics

The victory of Ireti Kingibe, Chinedu Obika and Abdulrahman Ajiya at the just concluded National Assembly polls in the Federal Capital Territory has dislodged an age-long tradition of electing indigenes as National Assembly representatives in the nation’s capital.

Kingibe dislodged Philip Aduda of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to win the senatorial seat in the FCT while Obika won the House of Representatives for Bwari/AMAC Federal Constituency in the Nation’s Capital defeating Micah Jiba of the PDP who currently occupies the seat.
