ABUJA | Media360Impact Report — The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has elevated Moses Okorie, former Acting Chairman of Garki Ward in the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), to the position of Assistant Publicity Secretary of the party in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The development followed a strategic meeting of the Garki Ward and FCT Reconciliation Community held on Saturday at the NDC national headquarters in Wuse II, Abuja.
The meeting brought together party leaders, ward executives and supporters, including the NDC leader in the FCT and the party’s senatorial candidate, Barrister Amanda Pam.
Following a nomination by Pam and the concurrence of other state executives present, Okorie was admitted into the FCT Working Committee and also emerged as the party leader in Garki Ward.
The party said the move was aimed at consolidating its structures, promoting inclusion and strengthening its mobilisation and communication network ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Okorie, a journalist, said he would deploy his professional experience, media relationships and grassroots connections to promote the NDC’s programmes and candidates across the FCT.
He also pledged to work closely with the FCT Publicity Secretary, Pastor Samuel Iloh, to build a stronger publicity network capable of effectively communicating the party’s message to residents of the territory.
“I appreciate Barrister Amanda Pam for the confidence reposed in me. I will use my connections as a journalist to propagate the activities of the NDC across the FCT and work hand-in-hand with my immediate boss, Pastor Samuel Iloh,” Okorie said.
He assured the party leadership that he would justify the confidence placed in him and remain committed to advancing the interests of the NDC.
Meanwhile, Dr Okechukwu Ironkwe has emerged as the new Chairman of Garki Ward, alongside other members of the ward executive.
As part of the transition, Okorie formally handed over the ward’s membership register and other administrative records to Ironkwe.
Party members said the restructuring would strengthen coordination at the ward level and provide a more effective platform for grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
Members of the ward also reaffirmed their commitment to the NDC and pledged to mobilise support for the party’s candidates.
They declared their support for Hassan Grema, the NDC candidate for AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency; Amanda Pam, the party’s senatorial candidate; and the presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The latest changes, according to party stakeholders, reflect the NDC’s efforts to expand its grassroots presence in the FCT and build a stronger political structure ahead of the 2027 polls.
The party leadership subsequently urged members to deepen unity, strengthen mobilisation and take the party’s message directly to voters across the Federal Capital Territory.
