The PDP Presidential Campaign Council has stated that its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has the best chance of winning this Saturday’s election due to his widespread support across the country’s political zones.

At a press conference on Monday, Dele Momodu, who is in charge of strategic communications for the PDP campaign council, said that the Labour Party in Lagos and the NNPP in Kano, where the ruling party had hoped to get a lot of votes, have dealt a fatal blow to the APC.

He also said that Atiku got a lot of votes in the Northwest, Northeast, and North-Central, but he wouldn’t say how many because that would be against the law.

He also said that reports from the party’s agents all over the country showed that the PDP had reached the 25% required by law in 24 states and was also in the lead in most states.

“As we speak, the APC has not been able to meet the 25 per cent threshold and demand that INEC should not cave in to the pressures and desperation of the APC to buy advantages for itself in this regard,” he said.

Momodu also warned about plans to change election results in Lagos State, where he said the Labour Party had significantly damaged the APC.

Even though he agreed that PDP wasn’t doing well in the South-East because of the Labour Party, which he said was understandable, Momodu pointed out that no other candidate besides Atiku has spread across the country.

He added, “APC has been fatally wounded in the South West by the Labour Party. PDP is the only pan-Nigerian political party that has gotten so much spread, apart from the South East, that PDP didn’t have a clean sweep. PDP did well in Oyo, Ondo, and Osun states.

“We remain the only political party which has secured the necessary 25 per cent spread across 24 states in the country. No other political party has been able to cross this essential constitutional requirement.

“We have it on credible grounds that our main opponent in this election, the All Progressives Congress party, is currently mounting pressure in attempts to bribe their way to secure 25 per cent performance in both Imo and Ebonyi states.

“Through your incredible efforts we are happy to inform you, our members, that we are doing extremely well in the Northwest and the Northeast. We are competitive in the South-South and North-Central. No other party has the kind of leading edge that we have in this election. ”

“We have checked on the records and we know that other candidates cannot meet the 25 percent threshold like PDP,” Momodu stated, demonstrating confidence in the party’s ability to win.

He did, however, ask the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to stop attempts by APC governors to change the results in their states.

He told the governors of the states of Ebonyi and Imo not to put more pressure on INEC officials to change the results in their states.

Even though he said he was sure INEC would do the right things in the end, he told INEC to ensure the results were uploaded quickly so people wouldn’t think they were tampered with.

PDP said that the delay in uploading results will give people more reason to worry.
