The Bayelsa- born politician believes that the votes from Southern local government area could send the APC into a victory party.
“The battle is not yet over as we have to go for a re-run election. We are waiting for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to give us a new date by the grace of God.
“We are expecting a local government that has a huge vote. If we do very well within this very short period to correct our wrongs, I believe that we can still get victory. I have made it very clear that there are internal crises in Bayelsa.
“Till today, our governorship candidate, after the primaries, has not spoken to me. There are so many aggrieved people in the party. There are so many who do not have the guts to speak out. That is why we have lost in those areas we have lost.
“If we have united ourselves before the election and every member is happy, what happened in Bayelsa would not have happened.
“But we are still hopeful and I pray that the candidate himself would correct whatever loopholes or mistake he must have made to put our party in this situation,” he added.
The APC chieftain expressed confidence in the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari to fulfill the promises he made during the electioneering campaigns, saying he has the competent hands who will assist him.
He attributed the delay in the constitution of the APC Board of Trustees (BoT) to the need to avoid making mistakes, saying “discussions are on and we don’t want to get it very wrong. We want to get it very right.”
He declared that he remained the official APC spokesperson in the absence of a substantive National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who had resigned to become the Minister of Information.
