A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the FCT, Alhaji Musa Yahaya Muhammad, has said that his desire to join  the race for the House of Representatives for Abuja South in 2019 is as a result of pressure from stakeholders, associations and groups across the four area councils – Abaji, Kwali, Gwagwalada and Kuje.

Muhammad, who was also a former chairman of Abaji Area Council, stated this while addressing the party executives who visited him at his residence in Abaji on Monday.

He said it was after much pressure and the clarion call from the group that he also embarked on consultations to seek the advise and views of other key party stakeholders and later agreed to contest for Abuja South Reps ticket in 2019.

“Even though the consultation continues, but I will say with fervent prayers that the coast is clear as by the grace of God it is going to be a different ball game come 2019 general elections,” he said.

He said his representation, if given the mandate would be a different ball game, stressing that he was going to ensure that he maintained an interface  with the people of Abuja South on the issues that bordered on the constituency at the National Assembly.

Muhammad also assured that he shall expanded the free scholarship scheme across the four area councils to enable indigent students acquire education as currently being enjoyed by some students in his private school.
