YPP chairmanship candidate pledges non-interference in chiefs’ affairs

Alhaji Mohammed Angulu Loko, the Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate for the Abaji Area Council chairmanship in the February 21, 2026, election, has stated that his administration will not interfere with any traditional rulers or chiefs if he is elected.

Loko made this promise on Saturday while meeting with traditional rulers, village chiefs, and district heads in the Gawu ward to seek their support.

He said his administration would ensure that traditional rulers, village heads, and district heads have the autonomy to operate according to their customs and traditions without any interference.

He emphasized that the traditional institution is a revered one that deserves respect, noting that he had increased the monthly payments of traditional rulers, village chiefs, and district heads by 70% during his first tenure as council chairman between 2003 and 2006.
