The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has stated that the PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has conceded defeat ahead of the election.
Nigerian Tribune reports that Oshiomhole made the claim in his reaction to Atiku’s purported statement that two geopolitical zones, south-south and southeast were his strongholds. The APC chairman said Atiku has unwittingly revealed that he has lost out in four out of the six geopolitical zones.
His words: “PDP has conceded defeat, Atiku claimed to have control of south-south. That isn’t true. I come from Edo state and it is under the control of APC. By saying he has 2 out of 6 zones, it means he has lost.”
“Atiku knows he can’t win. In 2015, he lost his ward, he procured his senatorial zone for Senator Jubril Aminu, he did same for Senator Jonathan Zwingina! Let him deny it, I am ready to meet him in court.
“Atiku is afraid of defeat, we are ready for the election and by Saturday Atiku would remain a permanent candidate that he has always been.”
