Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour and Employment,
says the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the Feb. 25 presidential
election because it is the most popular party in Nigeria.
Keyamo, also a spokesperson for the All Progressives
Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), stated this when he
appeared at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Forum in Abuja.
“Without trying to sound overconfident, I can tell you that
the election is ours to lose.
“If you take the baseline for projection for the 2015 and
2019 elections, you will discover that in terms of the demographic setup of
Nigeria and the voting pattern in the last two elections, the APC has the upper
hand.
“If you take the baseline from the recent elections, then
you will know that the election is for APC and our candidate to lose.
“Demographically, we are extremely strong, we are the most
diverse and widespread all over the country, the APC is the only party without
concentration of support from one part of the country,” he said.
Keyamo, also a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) said it was
clear that the APC would record a landslide victory at the poll, going by
current developments in the country.
“Again, in a country like ours or anywhere in Africa, you
have an opposition that is not together facing the ruling party, that is you
have an opposition split into three. How do you expect them to defeat the
ruling party?
“It is a very simple calculation, forget about all the noise
going around. The split we see today in the opposition parties facing the APC,
in the form of PDP, LP and NNPP is an indication of weakness.
“It is a simple calculation and even when they were together
as PDP just three and half years ago, we defeated them with 4 million votes, so
they have a task of bridging the 4 million votes.
“Even if they were together, they still have a 4 million
votes deficit to close up in the last election, not to mention now that they
are split into three. Where are the votes going to come from, that’s the
question we are asking and we are waiting for the Nigerian electorate to answer
that in a few days’ time,” he said.
