The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that it was confident of victory in the forthcoming area council elections in the territory scheduled for February 21, 2026.
The spokesperson for the PDP chapter in the FCT, Josephine Itoyah-Splendor, said in a statement on Sunday, December 28, 2025, that the internal challenges being faced by the PDP would not affect its performance in the elections.
She expressed confidence that the party’s flag bearers at the polls were people of integrity and commitment who were approved by the then-Umar Damagum-led National Working Committee(NWC).
The party’s image maker added that the legitimacy of the candidates had been sealed with the official stamp of the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC).
“Let it be known far and wide that the PDP is solidly united. We are not merely participating in these elections. We are marching forward with the clear intention to win and to win handsomely.
“The people of the FCT, enlightened and discerning, recognise that the PDP has consistently delivered progress, stability, and development.
”They know that our vision is not built on empty promises but on a track record of service and achievement,” she stated.
Itoyah-Splendor dismissed what she called “the malicious propaganda,” seeking to cast doubt on the eligibility of PDP candidates,noting that the party’s opponents who were rattled by the PDP’s strength and readiness,had resorted to misinformation.
“The truth is clear. Every document relating to our candidates has been properly signed and validated by the Damagun-led executive. The validity of our candidates is unquestionable and remains untouched by any internal challenges the party may have faced,” she said.
