The Director of Field Operations of the All Progressives Congress, Presidential Campaign Council, Nuhu Ribadu, has claimed that Nigeria is of importance to the party than it winning in the February 23 elections.

Ribadu stated while claiming that the supporters of the party would not be involved in criminal activities during the elections.

The former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, stated this while reacting to the statement made by President Muhammadu Buhari at the APC Caucus meeting.

He, however, stated that APC is ready for the election.

He said, “We would say we are very much prepared and we have worked hard. Twenty-four hours day and night, we have been on this to prepare our supporters, particularly our volunteers and canvassers. We have over 300,000 of such people across the country who have formally declared they are working for us.

“We have given them all the necessary information they need to know that will help to sell our candidate very well and we have told them to do it peacefully in a way that we would have free and fair elections.

“They are ready and are all out there. We have sent a message across that we must conduct ourselves with all decorum, dignity with the APC/ PMB volunteers.

“We have received a very strong message from PMB and from everybody that no misbehaviour will be tolerated.

“Our people will behave very well, our people will not be involved in any criminal activities, our people are going to conduct themselves according to the law and we believe that victory will be ours because we have prepared and worked hard.

“I am very happy and excited with our level of preparedness towards the forthcoming exercise on Saturday. We only pray that we would be able to have it from all the players to adopt the same attitude of a free and fair election and let the winner emerge through a peaceful process.”
