Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the just concluded Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC election, has said he has visited the family of Musa Abubakar who died during the election in Gwagwa.
According to Dr Mo, Musa Abubakar, the party agent for ADC at the Gwagwa polling unit lost his life while trying to protect the votes.
He announced a scholarship pledge for the children of a party agent who died during the conduct of the poll, describing the gesture as a commitment to honour courage and sacrifice in the defence of democracy.
“There were also instances where people changed the results from polling units, and this sad situation sadly led to the death of Musa Abubakar at the Gwagwa polling unit as he was trying to defend his vote,” he said in a press conference following the election.
“I have visited his family and made sure his children will get scholarships as a small way to honor his bravery and the sacrifice he made.
“I am asking the proper officials to look into this issue carefully and make sure fairness is achieved. These actions harm the fairness of the voting process and make people lose trust in our democracy.”
DAILY POST reported that the All Progressives Congress, APC, emerged victorious in five of the six area council chairmanship positions in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
