The protesters accused Adamu of collecting bribes from certain politicians in the Peoples Democratic Party so that the umbrella party could win the FCT in the 2023 election.

“We want to see Adamu. He must stop the impunity by ensuring that Abdulmalik is not sworn in the third time. If he fails to address us, it means that he has collected money from the PDP so that APC will lose FCT again in the 2023 elections,” one of the protesters said.
