The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has urged the residents of Tunga Madaki and adjoining communities to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC), ahead of the February 2026 Area Council elections.
Naija News reports that Wike, while speaking at the flag-off of a 7-kilometre road project with four-span bridges linking Tunga Madaki to eight other settlements, threw his weight behind the incumbent chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
Wike challenged residents to reflect on past administrations, stressing it was time to reward Maikalangu of the APC, who brought development to them.
He said, “One good turn deserves another. When you do for me, I do for you. When you fall for me, I fall for you. When you listen to me, I listen to you.
“It was unfair that people surrendered their ancestral lands for a national project like a second runway, yet had no access road, even to the airport they gave land for. I took the matter to Mr. President, and he said, ‘Whatever they ask for, give it to them.’ Today, we are here to fulfill that promise.
“You have had council chairmen before did anyone remember Tunga Madaki? Did they connect you to the airport whose land you gave away? Ask them where they were when your roads were impassable.
“Remember the man who remembered you during the rainy season. This is a time to stand with the party that brought development to your doorstep.”
The minister also announced that the project, being executed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation CCECC, would be completed and commissioned in June 2026, coinciding with Tinubu’s third anniversary in office.
