**Election Day Drama: APC FCT Chairman Chased Out of Polling Unit** Election day drama played out in Gwagwalada, Abuja, as voters showed no mercy to the chairperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), AbdulMalik Usman. According to eyewitnesses, Usman was chased away from the polling and collation centre at Pilot Science Primary School, Gwagwalada, during the FCT council area elections. This incident is a stark reminder of the high stakes involved in Nigeria's electoral process. For many, the fear of manipulation is a potent issue that can spark anger and frustration. It appears that voters in Gwagwalada suspected Usman of trying to rig the election, which led to their dramatic reaction. Eyewitnesses reported that the enraged voters poured sand on him and pelted his vehicle with stones as he was escorted away by police. The FCT council area elections, conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), are a significant event in Nigeria's electoral cycle. With 2,822 polling units across six area councils, the stakes are high for candidates vying for seats in the councils. Despite the drama surrounding Usman's departure, voting and counting proceeded without major hitches in the affected area. The incident raises questions about the level of trust in the electoral process. Can voters count on the integrity of election officials? The incident highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the electoral process. The FCT council area elections are a crucial test of Nigeria's democratic system, and the outcome will be closely watched by Nigerians and the international community alike.
