Former Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Thursday stormed different Area Councils in Abuja ahead of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Area Councils’ elections.
Obi made this known in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Thursday, where he revealed he had engaged directly with the grassroots.
He said that leadership is not a distant concept but forged through presence, endurance, and authentic connection, adding that true leadership must always be accessible, grounded in the realities of the people it serves.
The former Anambra state governor reaffirmed commitment to inclusive development that permeates every sector of society.
“Today, I set out from our office in the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, with a clear mission: to engage directly with the grassroots and drive home our vision of leadership that genuinely serves the people.
“I made my first stop at the Abaji Area Council, where I campaigned alongside Dr Mohammed Ibrahim, the ADC chairmanship candidate for the area. I took a decisive one-hour walk through the community, listening intently to their voices, understanding their aspirations, and reinforcing my conviction.
“Afterwards, I headed straight to the Kwali Area Council to support Jeremiah Badoji, the ADC chairmanship candidate there. Once again, I dedicated a full hour to walking among the people.
“I then journeyed to Zuba, where I championed Pharmacist Iko Danjuma, the ADC chairmanship candidate for Gwagwalada Area Council. Following that, I visited Deidei Market, where I directly engaged with traders and residents while advocating for Dr Moses Paul, the ADC chairmanship candidate for Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC,” he wrote.
