  "summary": "Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike has called on other states to adopt the FCT and Rivers State coalition model, which he believes promotes political cooperation and peace among politicians from different parties. The initiative, which has been implemented in Rivers State, aims to bring together politicians from the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party to pursue common political objectives, despite their differences. Wike highlighted the success of the coalition in the FCT, where politicians have managed to work together without resorting to conflict, and stressed the importance of inclusive representation and accountability in politics. He also cautioned residents of Kuje Area Council against repeating a political mistake from the 2023 elections and urged them to consider accessibility, accountability, and performance when choosing their representatives.",
