In the 2027 FCT senatorial election, Accord candidate Comrade Ezikel Musa Dalhatu pledged to introduce legislation to safeguard both indigenous individuals and other residents of the territory. During a stakeholders' meeting in Abuja, Dalhatu highlighted the lack of any concrete laws protecting the FCT's indigenous people and residents for over five decades.
He expressed frustration over the demolition of natives' homes and the expropriation of ancestral lands, resulting in displacement without adequate alternatives or compensation from the government. Dalhatu emphasized that protecting indigenous communities also benefits the residents since they coexist. He outlined plans to empower youths and women across the six area councils of the FCT, with a focus on vulnerable residents, and stressed the importance of skills acquisition to foster self-reliance.
Dalhatu also aimed to overhaul the primary education sector in the FCT by eliminating classrooms with pupils sitting on the bare floor and upgrading dilapidated structures. He underscored his candidacy as a means to collaborate with stakeholders and deliver the benefits of democracy to the FCT's populace.
