In the upcoming local elections, Moses Paul, popularly known as Dr. Mo, has formally been announced as the African Democratic Congress’ (ADC) chairmanship candidate for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).
At the ADC Secretariat in Area 2, Garki, Dr. Paul spoke to a varied group of supporters, party leaders, civil society activists, and youth representatives. He said he was prepared to spearhead a new era of grassroots-driven governance in the most important municipality in the capital.
“I am not here because of political godfathers. I am not here to warm a seat. I am here because AMAC is broken, and together, we must fix it,” he said to thunderous applause.
After weeks of consultations in every ward of the council, from Karu to Kabusa, Jikwoyi to Garki, Dr. Paul emerged as a symbol of community-first leadership and a voice for the marginalized.
He criticized years of bad governance in his acceptance speech, “The Mandate of the People, The Moment for Change,” and lamented the breakdown of public services like markets, schools, and health facilities.
“The wait is over. This is not just another campaign. This is a movement of conscience, a mission of hope, and a moment of truth for AMAC,” he declared.
He promised broad improvements to restore citizens’ dignity and service delivery, emphasizing:
Among other things, there are fully operational public elementary schools and skill-development centers in each ward.
In addition, Dr. Paul urged women, young people, and seniors in AMAC to take charge of the political process by registering, organizing, casting ballots, and standing by their choices.
He challenged his opponents with ideas rather than insults, “Let’s debate policies, not spread fear. Let the people decide freely.”
He also urged the media and civil society to keep a careful eye on the process and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to maintain its impartiality.
“This is not politics as usual. This is a referendum on neglect. And come election day, we will answer loud and clear,” he said.
Paul reiterated his dedication to a leadership style based on service, openness, and people-driven development while thanking the ADC leadership for their support.
“Let it be said that AMAC has risen—not because of one man, but because the people chose to believe again,” he concluded.
