The Executive Chairman of Kuje Area Council, Hon. Danjuma Samuel Shekwolo, has officially addressed recent media reports concerning comments he made during a meeting with local youth and loyalists of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking to reporters, stakeholders, and community leaders on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, Shekwolo stated that his previous remarks were taken out of context and sensationalized across various news platforms and social media, creating a distorted narrative regarding his administration’s core values and official stance.
Shekwolo emphasized that the meeting in question was focused strictly on administrative efficiency, local development, and community welfare, with no intention of alienating any residents.
The Executive Chairman affirmed that he holds no authority to disenfranchise any resident or citizen of Kuje Area Council of their fundamental human rights.
He reiterated that his administration remains dedicated to equitable governance, community progress, and serving the best interests of all constituents regardless of political affiliation, ethnic background, or religious beliefs.
While acknowledging the press as a critical pillar of democracy, Shekwolo urged journalists to uphold high professional standards by verifying the full context of statements prior to publication.
”At no point did I intend to cause disaffection, undermine any group, or promote policies that do not serve the best interest of our citizens.
“Our doors remain open for constructive feedback, dialogue, and accurate reporting.”
The Chairman concluded his address by inviting all residents to collaborate with his administration to advance the overall growth and development of Kuje Area Council and the Federal Capital Territory.
