The Minority Leader of the 9th senate, Senator Philip Aduda has called on residents of the FCT to continue to support President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu and the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike in order to feel the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration in the territory.
Aduda made the call during the 13 years memorial prayers of his late mother, Mrs Jummai Aduda at his Karu family residence in Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) on Monday.
He said a lot of achievements were recorded under the administration of the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike through the support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, which he said the minister has continued to transform not only the city centre but satellite towns of the six area councils through infrastructure development.

He said the best way is for the people of the FCT to continue to pray and support the policies of the government so that they benefit more from the dividends of democracy.
According to him, it was under the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the people of the FCT now have a representative at the Federal Executive Council (FEC), which he said has never been done before.
“We can also see the development projects across the area councils
and rural communities as well as infrastructure all over the city centre of Abuja, through the efforts of the FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, hence, there is a need for us to continue to support the policies of Bola Ahmed Tinubu for more dividends of democracy in the territory”, he said.
Aduda, however, stated that his late mother, Mrs Jummai Aduda will
continue to be remembered for her philanthropist gesture through her
support to orphans, widows, and the downtrodden across the FCT.
“My mum, late Jummai Aduda, would also be remembered for being
the person who brought to the front burner, the emancipation of the people of the FCT and many other programmes for the less privileged and downtrodden in the territory, he said.
Also speaking, Princess Hauwa Philip Aduda, wife of Senator Aduda, said late mama would always be remembered for her hard work and care for the less privileged and downtrodden in the society.
“In fact, mama was a caring mother that loved everyone irrespective of
where such a person comes from as she embraced all of them”, she said.
Abuja Metro reports that among dignitaries that attended the memorial
prayer service included former Commissioner of the Public Complaints
Commission (PCC), Hon Ezekiel Musa Dalhatu, PDP state chairman, Alhaji Ismaila Mohammed Yenche, chairmen of Kwali and Abaji, Abubakar Umar Abdullahi and Danladi Chiya among other friends and relations of Aduda’s family.
