Former House of Reps Candidate advocates re-establishment of office on FCT matters

A stakeholder of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former House of Representatives candidate for AMAC/Bwari federal constituency under the defunct CPC, Hon. Yakubu Adamu has advocated the re-establishment of the office of the Special Adviser to the President on Federal Capital Territory (FCT) matters.  

Hon Yakubu appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to revive the office which was earlier created by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and appoint somebody from the FCT to oversee the affairs of the office.

Speaking yesterday in Abuja, the former AMAC secretary and the national coordinator, Buhari Osinbajo Youth Advocacy Group (BOYAG) said the creation of the above office became necessary in view of the numerous challenges faced by the FCT indigenes and residents.

He stated that such action of government will give the people of the Federal Capital Territory a sense of belonging and a better representation at the federal level.

Hon Yakubu further appealed to President Buhari and the new government to recognise the sacrifice and enormous contributions of the FCT indigenes by creating the office.

On the emergence of the new National Assembly leadership, he expressed satisfaction with the neutrality of President Buhari, and advised the APC to be cautious and go about the issue in a more peaceful and orderly manner to avoid escalation of the situation.
