Bwari

Bwari is a town in Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. The original inhabitants of Bwari are the Gbagyi speaking people. The paramount ruler is the ESU who is otherwise known as Sa-bwaya. However, with the emergence of FCT in Abuja so many changes occurred in Bwari, one of such changes is the imposition of an Emir in Bwari. History has it that the Gbagyi people do not operate an emirate system of government. Thus, questions have been asked as to why there is an emir in Bwari. Research has however revealed that the emir who is koro by tribe is from Niger State. <Theophilus Tanko Chigudu>

Bwari is also the capital of Bwari Area Council of Abuja. Politically Bwari has at the helm of affairs an elected chairman with ten elected councilors representing ten wards.
