African Democratic Party (ADC) leading presidential aspirant, Peter Obi, on Tuesday embarked, on an early morning grassroots engagement across several Area Councils in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as part of activities ahead of the council polls.

Obi, in a post on X, said he set out as early as 6:30 am from his office in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) to interact directly with residents and reinforce his vision of people-centred leadership.

His first stop was Abaji Area Council, where he campaigned alongside Dr Mohammed Ibrahim, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chairmanship candidate.

Peter Obi took a one-hour walk through the community, engaging the grassroots and listening to their concerns.

He later proceeded to Kwali Area Council to support Hon. Jeremiah Badoji, the ADC chairmanship candidate, where he again spent time walking through the community and interacting with locals, stressing that leadership must be accessible and rooted in the everyday realities of the people.

The former Anambra governor also visited Zuba in Gwagwalada Area Council to campaign for Pharmacist Iko Danjuma, the ADC chairmanship candidate, before moving to Deidei Market.

At the market, Obi engaged traders and residents while canvassing support for Dr Moses Paul, the ADC chairmanship candidate for AMAC.

He used the engagements to reiterate his commitment to inclusive development and grassroots-driven leadership that prioritises the welfare and aspirations of ordinary citizens. (Nigerian Tribune)
