The Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum and Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, on Sunday praised President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress following the outcome of the Federal Capital Territory area council elections held on February 21, 2026, across the six area councils in Abuja.
Abiodun, in a statement released in Abeokuta, said the performance of the APC in the polls reflects growing support for the party among Nigerians.
He described the results as a clear sign that many voters are in agreement with the direction of the current administration.
The FCT elections were conducted on Saturday in Abaji, Abuja Municipal Area Council, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje and Kwali. The APC secured victory in most of the chairmanship seats, reinforcing its presence in the territory.
Reacting to the results, Abiodun congratulated President Tinubu, the national leadership of the APC, including its chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, and the party’s candidates who contested in the election.
He said the outcome of the polls shows that the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President continues to receive support from the public.
According to him, the results from the FCT serve as a pointer to what may happen in the 2027 general elections. He stated that many Nigerians believe the country is better managed under the APC and expressed confidence that the party would perform well in future contests.
Abiodun added that the response of voters in the FCT demonstrates trust in the leadership of President Tinubu. He said the administration’s policies and programmes have continued to shape public opinion in favour of the ruling party.
The Southern Governors’ Forum chairman maintained that the FCT poll outcome sends a message about the political mood of the country ahead of the next general elections.
