The charter of demands which contained all the pressing demands of the natives included, the establishment of an Abuja Original Inhabitants Development
Commission , which will focus solely on the unique issues of FCTOIs, just like the NDDC was established for the Niger-Delta region.
While presenting the charter of demands, the project and organising manager of AOIYEO, Bitrus Lawrence, yesterday in a press conference, explained that the charter of demands is the most critical document of FCT’s original inhabitants. “In order to put this crucial document together, AOIYEO undertook the extensive engagement of FCT original inhabitants, from the area council leadership, the FCTA, FCDA, the FCT traditional council of chiefs across the upgraded 17 chiefdoms, the 62 wards, and 858 communities’ representatives, invariably giving the document a fascinating depth and far-flung acceptance amongst FCT original inhabitants.
“As we all know, the election season is upon us, so as we present this document today, and with the blessings of everyone involved, we are also declaring that as a people who are bound by a common struggle and are now rejuvenated and resolute in upholding the FCT original inhabitants charter of demands as our unanimous roadmap to addressing them.
“Our support for any candidate or party at the polls will be largely dependent on the commitment they show towards implementing the recommendations contained in our charter of demand.
