In a notable move that likely reduces the possibility of legal disputes, Dr. Paul Moses, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), has officially conceded defeat.
While Nigerian law grants political parties the ultimate authority to challenge election results through tribunal panels—even if a candidate is hesitant—Dr. Paul has chosen to accept the results in what he described as a “rare show” of sportsmanship.
Following the formal declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the incumbent chairman, Honourable Christopher Maikalangu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had won the election, Dr. Paul issued a statement expressing his gratitude to his campaign team, supporters, and residents.
He remarked: “I accept the outcome of the election. Democracy demands respect for the will of the people, and I remain committed to the principles of peace, progress, and service.”
Despite the loss, the ADC candidate made it clear that his dedication to the community would continue beyond the ballot box.
He noted: “This is not the end of the journey. Our movement for accountable leadership, inclusive governance, and sustainable development in AMAC remains strong. We will continue to engage, organize, and work towards a better future for our people.”
Dr. Paul concluded by calling for unity and peace among his followers, urging them to stay focused and calm while assuring them that “the ideals they stood for during the campaign would not be abandoned.”
