Taiwo Kolawole, deputy speaker of Lagos State
House of Assembly, insisted that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) presidential
candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) would
win the elections.
The official shared his point of view during the
weekend interview, Daily Independent reports.
He noted that the purported plot by the Presidency
to remove the Chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof.
Attahiru Jega, before the shifted polls would not
stop Buhari from winning.
"…but we are sure that if they bring Judas Iscariot
or the devil himself to head INEC, Nigerians would
speak.
"With their votes, Nigerians would speak so
unambiguously; the election would not be close, it
would be almost impossible to rig, God is a
Nigerian. God lives in Nigeria and even if the
remove Jega, Buhari is going to win this election.
"We are determined and resolute, and as you can
see, the slogan has changed from FeBuhari to
March for Buhari. We are not only going to march
for Buhari, but we are marching for Nigeria.
"The fact that the presidential election would be
done with the National Assembly election makes it
better because the results would be announced at
the collating centres in each area."
Kolawole expressed discontent with the elections
postponement saying it was unacceptable. The
speaker insisted that it was connected with the
Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP's) fear to lose.
"Why should anybody postpone a general election
because of just 14 local governments. It is
unacceptable.
"Nigerians have rejected their party. You can go
round Lagos and see that Nigerians are resolute,
they would not tolerate nonsense from them. Our
party, the APC, has decided to keep calm as we
did in the governorship election of Osun State.
"We are also working hard and the postponement
will only assist us to get deep to the grassroots."
February 7 the INEC announced the shift of polls
for six weeks over security challenges. The new
dates are March 28 and April 11.
