If all indices available translate to reality in the coming Saturday’s election, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu may ignore any other campaign activities as the party is set to emerge victorious at all levels. These were the words of the ruling party’s chapter in the United Kingdom while assuring the party faithful to remain calm as the party will win the election irrespective of the hardship created by the economic policy of the present administration.
In a statement signed by the director of publicity of the Interim National Working Committee of the party, Mr Jacob Ogunseye, it was revealed that all is set for the party to continue the government at the centre for the next four years. He based his assurance on the recent party surveys conducted by different independent organisations, realignment across the party lines, the reawakening of some power brokers, the youth’s decision to enlist in the armies of voters etc have brought succour to Tinubu’s aspiration.
According to the statement, Ogunseye referred to the Nigerian Human Rights Community (NHRC) poll which tips the APC candidate to victory in the election. “In the poll, out of 19365 respondents, 7940 representing 41% are voting for the candidate of the APC while his closest rival got 5035 which represents 26% and the candidate of Labour Party received 4067 to clinch 21%”. With this data, it will be difficult for any party to beat APC in the coming election. Apart from the NHRC poll, other credible poll agencies have predicted a landslide victory for the party.
“Also of notice are the recent realignment in the polity, the statement said the recent reorganisation among the politicians is a pointer to the APC’s victory. “Asiwaju Tinubu and Senator Shettima have shown the world that they are capable to run a successful government through their hardworking during the campaign, they have traversed the length and breadth of the country and many have been convinced that the duo have more than what it takes to lead the country into the promised land. As we can see, opposition party members have been joining APC in droves.
The All Progressives Congress United Kingdom chapter reassures Nigerians irrespective of their locations to consider the coming election as a golden opportunity to choose the best for the country. “The best opportunity is beckoning at us, we must seize it, the only way out is by voting APC in all elections. We have all to gain and nothing to lose, Asiwaju has done it and we are very confident he won’t let us down., the statement concluded.
