Chronicles Reporters delves into the recent public hearing convened by the African Action Congress (AAC) in Abuja, where the party launched a scathing critique against Alhaji Abubakar Jibrin Giri, Chairman of the Gwagwalada Area Council.
Accusations of incompetence and a lack of direction in governance reverberated through the gathering, as AAC leaders vowed to spearhead change in the upcoming elections.
Dubbed the ‘Operation Hutu Dole Campaign,’ the event served as a platform for the AAC to articulate its vision for revitalizing Gwagwalada’s governance landscape. Chairmanship Aspirant, Baba Nwada Balami, passionately lamented the region’s infrastructure deficit, attributing it to a combination of inadequate leadership and rampant corruption.
Balami’s rallying cry for transparency and accountability resonated with attendees, who voiced their frustrations over the council’s perceived disregard for the community’s welfare.
Agena Robert Ande, Chairman of the AAC in the Federal Capital Territory, echoed Balami’s sentiments, emphasizing the party’s commitment to youth inclusion and grassroots mobilization.
As the ‘Take It Back Movement’ gains momentum, Ande urged supporters to mobilize and seize the opportunity to effect meaningful change in Gwagwalada and beyond.
Amidst fervent calls for electoral reform, participants staged a spirited rally to raise awareness about the importance of voting and to denounce outdated political practices. However, the gathering also served as a platform to address broader concerns about the erosion of democratic values.
The AAC’s condemnation of the arrest of the Oyo State Chairman during a local government election underscores the party’s commitment to safeguarding democratic principles and ensuring accountability at all levels of governance.
As Chronicles Reporters continues to shine a spotlight on the evolving political landscape, the resounding call for change in Gwagwalada serves as a poignant reminder of the power of civic engagement and the imperative of holding leaders accountable to the people they serve.
