Deputy spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Hannatu Musawa has boasted that her party’s candidate —Asiwaju Bola Tinubu would floor Labour Party’s Presidential candidate — Peter Obi in the North Western part of the country, come Feb. 25th.
Musawa said this in an interview with The Punch, speaking on life as a female politician and the preparedness of the party for the general election.
She said: “I can guarantee that we are going to deliver. The North-West is coming out to deliver Asiwaju (Tinubu). Many things will happen in this election. One of them is that the people who may not give (Peter) Obi much credit will be surprised by how well he is going to do. And those who are supporting Obi all over the Internet are going to be shocked at how badly he will do in the presidential election.
“Then, the nation is going to be astounded as to how Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will perform in the North-West. Let me tell you that the North-West is the backbone of this election and the North-West is ready to give Asiwaju its support. At least, I can speak for myself because I am from Katsina State.
“I am the secretary-general of the campaign council there, and our target is to even get Asiwaju more votes than Buhari got. It is like a challenge for us, especially now that we have northern candidates, who are trying to appeal to those northerners. But there are those of us who are on the ground and are willing to do everything within the legal purview to sell this man (Tinubu).
“Secondly, when we talk about Buhari’s 12 million votes, they are vested in one person. Everybody is trying to claim those votes. But those votes are vested in Muhammadu Buhari himself,” she said.
