"We know their tricks. They want to see the outcome of our primary election come May 28 and 29 before they will decide who will be their candidate.
“Look at the APC national chairman. He is quiet about their supposed zoning arrangement simply because they already have plans to field Senator Ahmad Lawan depending on who is the presidential candidate of our party.”

“Just give me your votes, the rest will be history as APC will be history in Nigeria.”
