It’s wrong to think that because we’re the party at the centre we must win the election by all means. That’s wrong.
“We must win this election free and square.
“President Muhammadu Buhari is not that kind of person that will want to rig election for anybody. He a transparent and upright man.
“So, we must work hard to win this election. I have not slept for so many days because I’m doing my beat to ensure we win. Our telephone lines should be open for 24 hours. We need to be prayerful and hard-working.
“Never take anything for granted. The election must be credible and fair . Votes must count. We’re prepared for this election, Uba stated.
Speaking, a former member of the House of Representatives, Ifeanyi Ibezi, who recently dumped the All Progressives Grand Alliance for APC, described the November poll as a consequential election in the history of the state.
He said,”We are competing with an incumbent party( APGA). I know their strength and weaknesses. We are going to defeat them, all we need is commitment .
“It will be Tsunami . Already 200 serving counselors in the state will soon join us in AOC. I have no doubt in my mind that this project will work. For me to reject a ruling party in the state be in APC, I want to prove a point.
