Oye said:
“President Muhammadu Buhari has always been a father by allowing INEC to conduct free, fair and credible elections in the country."
“He will also insist on allowing the people’s will to prevail and not the other way round."
How plans by many politicians were thwarted
Oye said that while it was the plan of some politicians to use their mercenaries, the president had always ensured that the will of the people prevailed.
He said:
“But he has always told them to allow the choice of the people to prevail; that is why APGA is winning the election."
The APGA chairman further commended the people of Anambra for the manner in which they conducted themselves during the polls.
