Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has boasted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will win in all the 28 states where the governorship elections are being conducted on Saturday, March 18.
Lawan stated this while speaking with reporters on Saturday after voting at Katuzu ward in Bade LGA of Yobe state.
Governorship elections are underway in 28 of the 36 states in the country. The ruling party currently controls 21 of the 36 states.
“We are in control of the national assembly. We have won the presidency. We are going to win nothing less than 28 states at the end of this election,” Lawan said.
“The APC and the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari deserve credit; that we have allowed the process to be entirely determined by the guidelines and regulations of INEC.
“That we don’t use our incumbency factor to stop other political parties or opposition from winning in areas that are strong APC enclaves.
“The ninth national assembly also deserves credit for passing a law that has made the process of our elections better.
“I think there is still room for improvement but kudos to the ninth national assembly for producing an electoral act that is giving more roles to technology to decide and influence the outcome of our elections rather than some kind of fraud.”
