Hon. Abubakar Baba-Zango
By Joseph Adahnu, Yola
A House of Representatives candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Yola South/Yola North/Girei Federal Constituency, Hon Abubakar Baba-Zango has expressed confidence that his party will defeat PDP in the forthcoming general election despite the candidature of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Atiku from Adamawa State, is the PDP presidential candidate.
He said Atiku is no more a factor in Adamawa politics as he failed to deliver his polling unit in Jimeta is a pointer to the fact that his political impact has deduced.
He reiterated that APC is going to decisively and comprehensively beat PDP in all contested positions as the party has become unpopular over the years performed perfectly in his leadership.
“Atiku is not a factor in Adamawa State politics. In the last election he was the presidential candidate of PDP in Adamawa State he didn’t do anything, the votes he got were negligible. The difference between him and APC presidential candidate was around 32,000 votes, if you compare that to what Buhari got against Atiku in Katsina you will understand he is never a factor in Adamawa politics.
“He didn’t even win his unit in Jimeta. He didn’t win the state capital. So, Atiku is not a factor he can’t destabilize APC in Adamawa State. What happened in 2019 is going to repeat itself, nothing will happen,” he said.
On assurance of victory the the forth coming election, Baba-Zango boasted that: “I have done alot that the state government cannot do because I facilitated enlistment of not less than fifty people into Custom, Immigration, Civil Defence and a host of others.
Responding to the allegations that some people in the Presidency are working to frustrate the conduct of the 2023 or to ensure the defeat of the presidential candidate of APC, Baba-Zango expressed optimism that elections will hold and his party will win all contested positions.
“People have the right to say what they want to say but it is my belief the election will hold and I believe APC will definitely win the elections. If You conduct opinion polls you will know APC will definitely win,” he noted.
Baba-Zango said there is no cause for alarm over the defection of Bindow as he moved to the PDP alone.
“The defection of Bindow to PDP is not an issue at all as he moved to the party alone. He has about 21 commissioners, and many advisers but none followed him to his new party. All his commissioners are with us in APC. Finance commissioner is with us, commissioner of land and survey is with us and all others.
“He defected to PDP alone. As I told you it is a work over for PDP. They find it difficult to appear before the public because of the wind of change that is blowing.
Baba-Zango accordingly said, “Everywhere our candidate moved you will see organic crowd of supporters trailing her campaign entourage but Fintiri pulls no crowd and is being ignored and jeered by the people”.
He called on the citizens to persevere over the naira redesign policy is a global phenomenon that is why all the stakeholders are working round the clock to ensure an end to the suffering of it’s citizeens.
