Meet Ezekiel
Rooted in the FCT. Ready to represent everyone.
Hon. Dalhatu Ezekiel Musa — widely known as MC Gida Gida — is an FCT public servant and community advocate from Kuje Area Council, of Gbagyi/Gbari heritage.
Rooted in the FCT
Ezekiel's public life began where he grew up: among the farming communities, market traders, youth associations and traditional institutions of the Federal Capital Territory. That grounding shapes a simple conviction — the territory is not only a seat of government, it is a home, and homes need representation that shows up.
A record of listening and intervention
His work has centred on citizen complaints, land and compensation disputes, community mediation and advocacy for accountable policing. He has spent more time in rooms where residents describe problems than on platforms where politicians describe themselves.
Coalition and community work
He has worked to bring associations across the territory into common cause, arguing consistently that justice for original inhabitants and equal belonging for every resident must advance together rather than compete.
