In the third election observed by the Chairman, FCT FA Election Committee, Mr Victor Ijeremen, Muhammed Bukar was also returned as Member of the Area Football Council.

Chairman, Kwali Area Football Council, Hon. Salihu Kolo after the free and fair election said today remain one of his happiest day on earth and promised to raise a formidable team from the Council to contest and win the FCT Aiteo Cup competition.

"Today is one of my happiest day because i don't know that i well be returned unopposed like this, the kind of support i get from my people is overwhelming.

He attributed the decision of the delegates to return him unopposed to the achievement during his first term in office and the fact that the delegates wanted continuity.

"And it is not that we don't have capable hands to contest with me but in Kwali Area Council, we believe in continuity and i want to believe that was the reason i was returned unopposed.
