The Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Hajiya Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, was booed during the presentation of certificates to elected area councils chairmen on Friday.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in the nation’s capital, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, presented the certificates at a ceremony attended by top politicians.

Tijjani’s speech was disrupted by some party ers when she advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to devise an alternative where people will vote manually if there are technical glitches.

There were complaints of INEC BVAS malfunctioning during the last Saturday’s council election.

But shouting in Hausa, they said, ‘Karya ne ba ma so’, meaning “It’s a lie, we don’t want it”.

The minister attempted to pacify the aggrieved crowd but they shouted her down as sounds of “Ba ma so’, meaning “We don’t want”, rend the air.

Senator Philip Aduda, representative of the FCT at the National Assembly, stormed out of the venue in anger.

Security personnel at the venue were unable to control the rowdy party ers.

The minister, who later dropped her microphone, went round to exchange pleasantries with some dignitaries before leaving the venue.

The INEC REC later presented the certificates of return to the chairmen of AMAC, Kwali, Gwagwalada, Bwari and Kuje area councils.

Bello, while congratulating the elected chairmen, urged stakeholders to partner with INEC in order to ensure smooth elections in 2023.

He also called on party leaders and stakeholders across the FCT to sensitise their people on the need to collect their voters card.

Daily Trust observed that the chairmen of APC and PDP in the FCT, Alhaji Abdulmalik Usman and Sunday Zaka, were not present at the occasion.

APC is a disaster

Still observing

Awon minister of failure

Kilowee

Minister of isonu!

Nigeria is a sinking ship, that is why Yoruba Muslims are beging everyday for it's unity

lol

Buhari sef

Until Nigeria eradicate manual process, we will continue to get it wrong. APC keep drawing us back because they want to retain power. Why would a party be against electronic voting in this digital age?

Election aside
Those FCT Ministers need booing in all areas.
Abuja is becoming an eyesore.
Dirty
Poor public transportation
Insecurity
Overpopulation
Etc

Useless failed country!

Soon Nigerians will start beating them up especially those that publicly speak nonsense

Just give Nkurummuri to those aboki thugs and see wonders.They never disappoint,even if you carry gun.

slivertongue:
APC is a disaster

that’s an understatement

One of the problems of Nigeria is too many people collecting money for no reasonable reason

The political leaders in this country need to be tied to a stake and set ablaze. None is useful. Tufiakwa.

Buhari sef

that one na person? My dog better am

She seems ceremonial

Useless country.

If she could be booed, wonder what will have happened to her principal, the FCT Minister himself.... probably have rained rotten eggs on his sorry head. Probably the worst s of the FCT since the capital moved from Lagos.

Ehya

Them never chichumchin

We have been here accusing northerners of not being informed without knowing that they are very much informed.

100 gbosas for those Abuja youths.

The stupid APC minister is looking for windows that her evil party can be exploiting to subvert the people’s will but the youths served her with the right dish.

We better continue to have technical glitches with BVAS than cast votes with hassles only for our votes not to count.

Ndi ala!

Fey-lluar!

These people are not prepared to move Nigeria forward. No wonder, Adetoun said Nigeria should be given to them in Dubai to come and develop it. They go out of Nigeria, they see things, but they like to impoverish us.
