Urrah Wins SDP Primary for AMAC/BWARI — A Historic Mandate from the Grassroots

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Federal Capital Territory has officially elected Hon. Engr. Olufemi James Urrah as its candidate for the House of Representatives seat representing the AMAC/BWARI Federal Constituency in the 2027 General Elections.

The outcome of the primary election represents more than a political victory. It is a powerful endorsement of a grassroots movement built on service, credibility, experience, and a shared vision for a better future across AMAC and BWARI.

For thousands of supporters, community leaders, youths, women, professionals, artisans, market traders, and party faithful who have worked tirelessly to strengthen the movement, this victory belongs to the people.

A Victory Built on Trust

The journey to securing the SDP ticket was not defined by political influence or elite endorsement. Instead, it was driven by direct engagement with residents, community consultations, grassroots mobilisation, and a commitment to addressing the real concerns facing the constituency.

Throughout the primary process, Hon. Engr. Olufemi James Urrah consistently articulated a clear vision for representation anchored on accountability, inclusion, and measurable development outcomes.

Delegates and party members responded positively to a message that focused on practical solutions rather than political rhetoric.

The overwhelming support received during the primary election demonstrates growing confidence in a leadership style that prioritises people over politics and service over self-interest.

From Experience to Representation

Hon. Engr. Olufemi James Urrah brings to the race a unique combination of leadership experience, engineering expertise, organisational capacity, and community engagement.

Over the years, he has served in various leadership roles, including:

• Former North Central Publicity Secretary of the APC Aspirants Forum.
• Former National Secretary of the APC Aspirants Forum (APCAF).
• Community development advocate.
• Youth empowerment supporter.
• Public affairs and governance stakeholder.

These experiences have provided valuable insight into policy development, stakeholder management, legislative advocacy, and community mobilisation.

As a trained engineer, he understands the importance of planning, execution, accountability, and measurable results—qualities that will be essential in effective legislative representation.

Why This Victory Matters

The SDP primary victory signals a new chapter for politics in AMAC/BWARI.

Residents have consistently expressed concerns regarding:

• Youth unemployment.
• Inadequate infrastructure.
• Poor road networks.
• Limited healthcare access.
• Educational challenges.
• Community security concerns.
• Economic opportunities for women.

The campaign has been built around addressing these issues through a practical and people-focused agenda.

The mandate granted by the SDP delegates provides the platform to take this vision directly to the electorate ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

The Six Pillars of the OJU Agenda

At the centre of the campaign is a development framework built around six strategic priorities:
