“Let me tell you that it was our internal wrangling that cost us in the past elections but now we have resolved our issues and we would win overwhelmingly. The State election body has assured us that they will be fair to all parties and so we hope that the SIEC will be fair this time, unlike the last time.
“We are also hopeful that the security agencies will provide security for all. For us as a party, we are fully prepared for the election and are confident that we would win. Unlike the ruling PDP, we did not impose candidates on the people. We allowed them to chose the people they want and I can tell you that even people in other parties are already celebrating our process and choice of candidates that we are fielding for this election”.
Mr Solomon Jabana, Northern zone Vice Chairman of the APC in Taraba State told the people that “politics is not war. Let us play the game by the rules. There is no need for violence. I am calling on my party members to campaign peacefully and conduct themselves with diplomacy and decorum. Victory is already within our grip and no amount of provocation should make anyone react with violence”.
