The race for the All Progressives Congress, APC, ticket for the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency is gathering steam as various aspirants have commenced consultations with party leaders and other stakeholders.
Aspirants vying for APC tickets for the 2027 elections are hoping to win the support of stakeholders ahead of the primaries, where flagbearers for the main election would be selected. Already, the APC had adopted an arrangement whereby candidates would emerge by consensus during the primaries.
An aspirant for the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives, Sarah Ivie Adidi, on Thursday commenced grassroots ward tour across Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, with visits to Kawu, Shere and Igu wards, where she met with ward executives and community stakeholders.
The tour which marked the beginning of direct consultations at the ward level, involved meetings with party leaders and grassroots stakeholders.
In Kawu Ward, Adidi paid a visit to representatives of the chief before proceeding to hold a meeting with the ward executives. The ward leaders emphasized the need to carry the grassroots along in the governance process.
Party leaders at Shere Ward declared their support for the aspirant, describing the consultation mission as a refreshing departure from the norm. They stressed the significance of the decision to meet them on their home ground, a gesture which they said demonstrated respect for the people.
Also at Igu Ward, party executives assured the female aspirant of their readiness to mobilize support for her across the ward.
They pledged to rally behind her aspiration and work collectively toward ensuring her success in the forthcoming elections.
Adidi reiterated her “commitment to servant leadership, inclusive governance, and sustained grassroots engagement,” noting that meaningful representation begins with listening directly to the people and understanding their needs firsthand.
It would be recalled that chairmen of the six geo-political zones of the APC in the FCT had backed Adidi to represent the AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives ahead of the 2027 general elections.
They took the decision at a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Abuja, where party leaders, grassroots mobilisers and key stakeholders converged to deliberate on the political future of the constituency and the need for effective representation.
