The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the FCT, Alhaji Usman Abdulmalik, has said the FCT Minister, Alhaji Muhammad Musa Bello, has given natives more appointments than the past PDP administration.

Abdulmalik stated this in an interview with our reporter, while reacting to criticisms from some groups that described the minister’s recent appointment of mandate secretaries and political aides as ‘lopsided.

He said since the inception of FCT administration, the present APC-led government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari has considered the natives in terms of political appointments, adding that those criticising the appointments should have a rethink and check the records to confirm the people that were appointed.

“If you may recall, the INEC commissioner, Halilu, is a native. We also have two ambassadors who are also natives,” he said.

He therefore expressed hope that as the minister considered carrying out appointments in the next few weeks, the natives will again be carried along.

The APC chairman solicited for the support and cooperation of residents  and natives of the territory for the minister in order to provide more democratic dividends to them.
