He said, ”Do not forget that we still control the greatest structure of 176,846 polling units. Some of us are working down at the ward level.

“Do you think I want to lose my little office as the DG of Voice of Nigeria? I am working day and night to get APC at my ward to scale, as also other appointees. Out of 469 members of the national assembly, we have the majority. That is why I am telling them there is no need to overdrive. The election is for us to win – Asiwaju has nothing to fear; that is my position.
