**Election Upset: ADC Candidate Claims Victory in FCT Polls** In a dramatic turn of events, the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in the recent Abuja Municipal Area Council election, Dr Moses Paul Ogigi, has come out to say that he had already won the election by 3 pm on the day of the polls. According to Dr Mo, his victory was short-lived, as things took a drastic turn for the worse. Dr Mo was speaking on Arise News about the events that transpired on the day of the election. He expressed his disappointment at the alleged irregularities that marred the process, including the imposition of curfews, mutilation of results, and harassment of ADC members at polling booths. He also lamented the high level of vote buying that characterized the election. Dr Mo's claims of having won the election before the alleged "magic" took place raises questions about the integrity of the electoral process. The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was announced as the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. However, Dr Mo's words paint a different picture, one of electoral malfeasance and manipulation. The ADC candidate's words have sparked debate about the state of our democracy. In a country where electoral malpractice is a recurring issue, it is essential that we take a closer look at the events that transpired in the FCT polls. The alleged irregularities raise concerns about the ability of our electoral system to deliver fair and credible elections. As Dr Mo so aptly put it, this election will be a defining moment in Nigeria's democratic journey. It will either reinforce our faith in the system or expose the deep-seated problems that plague our electoral process. Only time will tell what the future holds, but one thing is clear: the people of Abuja deserve a fair and transparent electoral process.
