As the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepares to screen Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) chairmanship aspirants today, the eligibility of the incumbent Chairman, Hon. Christopher Zaka Maikalangu has been called to question.
A pressure group within the APC, the Concerned FCT APC Stalwarts, at a press conference urged the party leadership to disqualify Maikalangu following fresh allegations of alleged incompetence, certificate forgery and anti- party activities.
They warned that his continued ambition threatened the integrity and fortunes of the party in the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT).
The coordinator of the group, Mallam Haruna Musa, alleged that Maikalangu lacked the capacity to lead, pointing to what they described as a history of certificate forgery, poor leadership and anti- party activities.
In his words, “it would be a grave mistake for the APC to allow Mr Christopher Maikalangu to participate in APC AMAC Chairmanship screening ,he is not qualified academically, morally and legally to represent the party in any capacity whatsoever.
According to him, the incumbent AMAC chairman demonstrated his incapacity to lead during a recent meeting with hard – working Minister of the FCT, Barrister Nyesome Wike, where he was reprimanded for his inability to combat criminality and banditry by not providing security vehicles for the police in recent times.
“His incompetence in the leadership of AMAC is evident in the ongoing Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and other AMAC staff strike which has retarded the socio- economic development of AMAC staff and their children among others.
The group appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the FCT Minister, the national chairman and other stakeholders to immediately intervene by stopping the incumbent AMAC Chairman’s ambition in the interest of the party’s future.
