A few hours to the presidential election, the South East Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Dozie Ikedife (Jnr), has made projections that the party would win over thirty per cent votes in almost each of the five states of the South East.
Mr Ikedife (Jnr) who was reacting to insinuations that the party would not make it in Igboland also said that the APC would have twenty-five per cent in over thirty states of the federation as well as win a majority of the votes.
He declared that those who made negative projections of the party’s performance would be shocked, insisting that the APC would celebrate its victory Sunday, February 26.
“I’m projecting that the APC will win thirty per cent of the votes in Anambra State. Labour Party might be lucky to have forty-five per cent. We pray we don’t have voter apathy.
“Anambra people have keyed into the message of Amed Bola Tinubu, the man who fought for our democracy, the man who fought the military junta. He spent his sweat on our democracy.
” He is winning in the South, winning in the North and winning in the South West. This is a man who did not refuse to conduct local government elections in Lagos State as a Governor. He deserves the mandate to be the Nigerian President. We are going to celebrate our victory on Sunday,” he said.
On whether Tinubu as a President would have the strength to pilot the affairs of Nigeria, he asked whether any poll had been conducted to prove that the APC presidential candidate was not healthy.
“Tinubu has visited the 36 States back to back in his campaign. He visited Imo State two to three times and Abonyi State two times. The job of a President is not weightlifting. It’s all about mental focus.
“I have already bought drinks and made arrangements for our celebration. We are going to celebrate because we will not lose. Our victory is going to be a landslide. He is going to win in Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Oyo, indeed the entire South West and we are going to win on the first ballots,” said Ikedife, the first son of former President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo worldwide, late Dr Dozie Ikedife.
