Prince David Adetunji Adeyeye (DAA) has emerged the candidate of Young Progressive Party (YPP) for AMAC/Bwari Constituency in the Federal House of Representatives during the party's primary elections held in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In the primary election conducted yesterday in Abuja, Adeyeye, who was unopposed in the election, pulled a total of 145 votes, out of 293 accredited voters, to emerge the candidate of the party for next year's general election.

In the other positions contested in the primaries of the party, Comrade Augustine Apeh pulled a total of 65 votes, to defeat his opponent, Mrs Rosemary Jack, who got 29 votes for the position of AMAC Chairman. Also, Mr David Kwikh Babs, scored 77 votes for the position of Chairman of Bwari local government without an opposition.

Similarly, 26 councillorship candidates emerged to represent the party in different wards under the FCT in next year's general election. The only opposed councillorship position was for Usman Ward, where Samson Aderemi pulled a total of 54 votes to defeat Aminu Aliyu, who scored 13 votes.

In his remarks, Adeyeye expressed his satisfaction on the smooth conduct of the election and vowed to do his best in delivering Democratic dividends to the good people of AMAC/Bwari Constituency in particular and FCT residents in general.

While fielding questions from journalists on what he is going to do differently from other politicians if he is eventually elected in 2019, Adeyeye said that his agenda is to establish community banks, libraries, sporting centres and many other things that will generally ameliorate the sufferings that many FCT residents, especially the people of his constituency, are going through.
