Natives of the Federal Capital Territory have appealed to the federal government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider FCT indigenes for ministerial
According to him, the Court of Appeal in Abuja had ruled on January 15, 2018, that indigenous people of the FCT were entitled to a ministerial representation in the Federal Executive Council as provided in Sections 147, 299, 14 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution.
“This present government should take a position on the constitutional legitimacy of land administration in the Federal Capital Territory to stop the marginalisation of the people. We also plead with the government to honour the Appeal Court and the ECOWAS Court judgments on the status of the FCT as an autonomous governance entity,’’ he said.
“If a Muslim and Muslim administration can emerge in Nigeria and we have peace in this country, it means an indigenous person can become a minister of the FCT and there will be peace.
