Ahead of the February 21, 2026 FCT Area Council elections, the Chairman, Unity and Reconciliation Committee (URC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), FCT Chapter, Senator, Usman Jibril Wowo, has called on all aggrieved members of the party to build the bridges of unity and not walls of division.

Senator Wowo said on Wednesday in Abuja while felicitations with the Muslim Ummah for a successful Ramadan season which culminated in the celebration of the eid-el-fitri.

He urged all members of the party to take advantage of the internal reconciliatory structure of the party to vent their issues, for an amicable resolution so that they can amplify the name of the FCT as the Center of Unity.

“Let us come together and talk about these differences and forge a united headway towards a bigger APC in the future, we must know that the area councils elections are just by the corner,” Senator Wowo said.

According to him, there can be no better time to speak to each other as brothers and sisters than this period of total demonstration of faith and obedience to the Almighty whose mercy and favour has guided everyone through the season.

He said, “It is not an accident that the Christians are also observing the Lent season which is an expression of faith and obedience to God.”

He said Nigerians in exercising their grievances should approach conflict resolution with open mind so that parties would make way forward in unity.

Senator Wowo said while it is human to suffer imperfection it is also for man to continue to exercise understanding and forgiveness towards one another where such need arises but this can only come where there are clear communications between parties involved in the conflict.

He said that the move by the party to reconcile all grieving parties has become important following the unpleasant performance of the party in the last area councils elections.

He argued that ahead of the next area council elections it was proper for all the grieving parties to come together and share their reservations for an amicable resolution of these differences which can only be resolved by talking together.

Senator Wowo said, “The party has a duty to ‘promote reconciliation, encourage and facilitate the settlement of dispute in amicable manner, among members of the party.”
