Osita Okechukwu, the Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON) and founding member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has predicted that the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win by 60 percent next year’s election.
This was stated by Okechukwu while addressing reporters at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Assessing the party’s candidate for the February 2023 poll, he said: “Asiwaju Tinubu has 60 per cent chance of winning this election. We are in charge of 22 states of the federation. We have the majority in the national and state Houses of Assembly. They are not going to betray him.
Okechukwu argued that aside from the growing popularity of the APC flag bearer, he said all political appointees in the current administration who are party members would equally ensure victory for Asiwaju Tinubu.
He added: “Whatever is my preference? If I want my office to remain, it means I must support Asiwaju. It’s applicable to those who are board members, whether you are coming from Yenogoa or Dutse. So, that is the power of incumbency.
