Ahead of February’s presidential election, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu has told President Muhammadu Buhari that Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) can be beaten silly.
Adamu met with President Muhammadu Buhari with Senator Aishatu Binani the APC’s gubernatorial candidate in Adamawa on Friday.
Adamu told Buhari that Atiku’s influence in Adamawa and the PDP’s incumbency cannot decimate APC’s chances of victory in the State.
Adamu said: “Atiku is just another politician in Nigeria. Evidence and history have shown that he is defeatable. He has tried it many times he has been defeated.”
He was reacting to a question whether Atiku factor wouldn’t work against Binani in Adamawa.
Adamu recalled that governor Fintiri’s candidate in the Senatorial election was defeated by Aishatu Binani, adding that Fintiri has underperformed.
“Based on the performance of the governor of the state today, I have reasons to believe that by the grace of God, we will form the next government in Adamawa State. It would be the APC government by the grace of God.
Adamu further claimed that governor Fintiri has nothing to show for the last four years he governed Adamawa State.
“We don’t have any doubt about it. We don’t want to be complacent, though. We’re working hard to displace him working hard to ensure that the APC will win next election.”
