Kuje LG chair clarifies recent media controversy over support for APC

The chairman of Kuje area council, Hon. Danjuma Samuel Shekwolo, has addressed recent media reports concerning comments he made during a meeting with local youth and loyalists of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

While addressing reporters, stakeholders and community leaders, Wednesday, Shekwolo stated that his previous remarks were taken out of context and sensationalised across various news platforms and social media, thereby creating a distorted narrative regarding his administration’s core values and official stance.

Shekwolo added that the meeting in question focused on administrative efficiency, local development and community welfare, with no intention of alienating residents.

He  said he holds no authority to disenfranchise any resident or citizen of Kuje area council or deny them  their fundamental human rights.

He stated 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,” he stated.
