A delegation of traditional rulers from the FCT paid President Jonathan a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Wednesday, where he assured the chiefs of his commitment to the infrastructural development of the FCT.

He also pledged that federal appointments of permanent secretary slots in the federal civil service as requested by his guests, as well as ministerial appointments  will be given to indigenes of the FCT. He said “people here are qualified to be ministers and permanent secretaries. “When the party is thinking of nominating ministers after the elections, you should be able to get a minister.”

He also urged them to commit their loyalty to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, adding that the PDP needed their votes in the forthcoming elections to ensure continuity and fulfillment of his promises towards the development of the FCT.
