Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Ali Sheriff, who is now a chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, yesterday, said Borno State had fulfilled its promise of delivering most of the votes cast during the Saturday general elections to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Sheriff, a former governor of Borno State, spoke to
journalists at the venue of presidential collation centre in Maiduguri,
insisting he had no doubt President Buhari was coasting to victory. He
said he led a separate campaign, aside the state campaign council of
APC, to ensure that the President got a second term.
Sheriff said
the state had not only delivered maximum votes for the president but
also won all the senatorial and House of Representatives seats for the
party. He said: “So far, the results that we have got from the field are
encouraging, and we are 100 percent sure that all our candidates,
especially our three senators and House of Representatives will soon be
declared winners. “And if these are in favour of APC, it means the
president will get substantial votes from Borno State and we believe our
result will be more than that of 2015.” He said he had no iota of doubt
on President Buhari’s victory as he envisaged the same favourable
results from other parts of the country.
