Obaseki: I Am Optimistic of Victory

We have campaigned significantly. In case, you bear in mind, that is the second time I'm embarking on this sort of marketing campaign. In advance of the number one election, Iwent via the 192 wards throughout the state.

 The marketing campaign for the main election has been extra exact. I went to groups I did not have the possibility of traveling earlier than the number one and it's been quite revealing. First off, it would be a miracle for the PDP to win the election because, as we move round the communities, we don't see their presence, we don't pay attention their message probably because they don't have any message.
 In every community we have long gone to, we are able to factor to a project that the APC government has undertaken and that explains the recognition of the political party.

The difficulty in most groups is that they need greater and it is easy to
argue that, given us good outcome, overall performance, they should allow us to hold to offer for them not like the PDP which track file is so awful that, of their ten years of being government, there's nothing to show the people of the nation. In order that being the reality on ground, it has been smooth going spherical to appeal to the voters to vote for me because the APC candidate and my walking mate Philip Shuaibu.

The second one difficulty is that we have been able to counter their lies due to the fact, without any message to ship, they had been going spherical to inform lies to the human beings, to create anxiety and put together the degree for violence. To them, the most effective way to win the election is to unleash violence and steal poll containers, produce fake outcomes.

There may be proof they're running on that method and we've suggested to security corporations. They're importing thugs from neighbouring communities to purpose mayhem in order that we will have inconclusive election. We also have evidence of the human beings they added in from neighbouring states to check in at some stage in the electorate registration.

You may see from the incident at llushi, where they attacked my marketing campaign educate. For the fear that they are going to lose the election, some of their supporters are appearing the violent script even earlier than the D-Day. They unleashed mayhem on our supporters. They destroyed our cars and people had been overwhelmed up.
