Zoning Battle in FCT: Abuja South Demands Senate Ticket for 2027
As momentum builds ahead of the 2027 elections, stakeholders from Abuja South are calling for a fair rotation of the FCT senatorial seat. They point out that representatives from Abuja North held the seat for 12 consecutive years, while southern districts served only four years combined. Advocates argue this imbalance contradicts principles of equity and inclusivity. They note that three of the six senators since 1999 are indigenous, yet their total time in office is far shorter than their counterparts from other areas. Observers say the All Progressives Congress must prove its commitment to fairness in its candidate selection. Ignoring the zoning call could spark internal dissent and hand an advantage to opposition parties, while conceding to Abuja South may strengthen grassroots support and unity.
