Candidate of the Action Alliance (AA) for the November 8 Anambra State governorship election, Ozo Jeff Nweke, aka the Nigga, on Tuesday said he would not be surprised if he is declared winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Nweke, who spoke to journalists shortly after a ‘Road Show’, said that the expectations of the people were summed up in him.

He said: "The people are convinced I’m going to represent them well if I win. They’re convinced I’ll speak their language and look at them with human face.

“All these their expectations are summed up in me. So no one will be surprised and I won’t be surprised that come November 8, I’ll emerge the winner."

The AA flag bearer said he was not expecting any untoward situation throughout the electioneering period but, reassured the people of the state of his preparedness to win the election.

While commenting on security, Nweke said: “I don’t think there’s anything that will disrupt the security situation of the state before, during and after the election.

“I believe every unforeseen situation has been taken care of by the security agencies and the INEC.

“We expect the security personnel to live up to the expectations. No stone should be left unturned, including ensuring all machineries are put in place to deter any untoward situations.

“We’re hoping to witness a free, fair and peaceful election, especially with the new INEC chairman who has assured that Anambra election to be the freest and fairest poll ever conducted in Nigeria.”

Responding to how he will react if the election does not favour him, the AA candidate said he would accept the verdict in good faith.

He added: "I’ll only say the people have spoken that I’m not going to govern them this time around. I’ll accept the results without prejudice."
