Kuje Area Council chairman in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Samuel Danjuma Shekwolo, says he will resist residents who plan to vote against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a video circulating on social media, he issues a warning that people who do not support the APC should leave the council.
Shekwolo’s remarks link support for the APC to work he attributes to President Bola Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, including development projects carried out in the area. He frames the choice as supporting the ruling party or opposing it, saying he will not tolerate anyone working against the APC or the president’s re-election bid. Across coverage, the central point is the chairman’s stated ultimatum—back the APC or depart the area council—delivered publicly through the circulated video.
The reports focus on the political message and the chairman’s threats to use his office to block opposition. Neither source indicates formal disciplinary action has been taken, nor details any specific incidents beyond the video statement and its political context.
