Why There Will Be No Rerun In Presidential Election – APC Campaign Council
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has said there will be no rerun in the forthcoming presidential election.
The Director of the Diaspora Directorate of the APC PCC, Ade Omole, made this known while addressing a press conference in Abuja on Monday.
He said the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, is better than any other presidential candidate in the race because he has the capacity, character, and competence to lead the country.
Omole asserted that the APC flagbearer would win the presidential election on the first ballot, stating Tinubu would emerge victorious by 6 p.m. on Saturday.
According to the APC chieftain, out of about 1.6 million Nigerians in the diaspora that have voter cards, about one million were already in the country to vote for Tinubu.
Omole stated that Nigerians actually responded well and expressed optimism that they would come out en masse to vote for the former Lagos State governor.
He said: “I strongly believe that by 6p.m on Saturday, the 25th of February, we will be celebrating the election. Remember we can actually view the result in real-time online, Yes! INEC may still take their time because they have to do the collation obviously officially, but I strongly believe that this election would be done and dusted by 6 pm.
“Why do I say that? As I mentioned earlier, you need to see the feedback from the people. We were at the flag-off in Jos, I was in Kano, I was in Minna, and I was in Borno, you need to see the response from Nigerians. They just can’t wait. I don’t see any run-off in this election and I believe that by 6 pm, we will be done and dusted.
“Not all the all 1.6 million Nigerians in the diaspora with PVCs would surely come in but at least some of them are here and they are all voting for our principal, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. Probably on Monday, we would be back here and I’m going to refer to this day that I said that we will be done by 6p.m.”
