….Minister Jisalo Congratulates Maikalangu, Urges Support for Party Flagbearer
The Executive Chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council, Hon. Christopher Zakka Maikalangu, has emerged victorious in the APC primaries for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) chairmanship election, securing 51 votes. This win solidifies his position as the party’s standard flag bearer for the upcoming 2026 general election.
A statememt signed by Kingsley Madaki, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs to the Executive Chairman AMAC, the AMAC Electoral Committee Chairman, Dr. Habib Ibrahim, announced the result, urging all aspirants to accept the outcome and support the winner in good faith. Notably, some prominent candidates stepped down in favor of Maikalangu, demonstrating the confidence and trust party members have in his leadership abilities.
The Minister of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Hon. Zephaniah Jisalo, who is also the leader of APC in FCT, congratulated Hon. Christopher Zakka Maikalangu on his victory in the APC primaries.
Jisalo urged all aspirants and parties involved to accept the outcome of the primary election and support Maikalangu as the party’s flag bearer.
Maikalangu in his reaction, thanks party delegates for their votes and support, while calling on other aspirants who contested with him shew their sword and join hand with him to work together for overall interest of the party and AMAC communities.
As the incumbent Chairman of AMAC, Maikalangu has implemented numerous developmental projects, enhancing infrastructure, healthcare, and education within the council area. His commitment to the welfare of AMAC residents likely contributed to his success in the primaries.
Maikalangu’s strategic defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier this year has paid off, as he has now won the APC ticket for the chairmanship election. This move was seen as an effort to align AMAC with the federal government, potentially unlocking more opportunities for development.
With this win, Maikalangu is poised to continue his tenure as AMAC Chairman, building on the progress he has made so far. His victory is expected to strengthen the APC’s hold on the FCT, and he will likely focus on delivering more projects and services to the people of AMAC.
As Maikalangu prepares for the general election, he will likely focus on consolidating support from residents and further showcasing his vision for AMAC’s development. With his track record and the trust of party members, he is well-positioned to lead the council towards greater progress and prosperity.
