Senate President Bukola Saraki has reeled out election figures to support claims that the Peoples Democratic Party stands a great chance of winning the presidential polls.

In his permutation, Saraki said the PDP will “take South East, South-South, and North Central”adding that “South West Will be split, North East will be split and the North West will be marginally here and there”.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Channels Television, Saraki argued that though in the 2015election Buhari won the Northeast and Northwest, the feat will not be repeated in 2019.

He said, “Northwest he won by 75 per cent, North East he won by 80 per cent, he won the North Central with about 56 per cent, and the South East with about 55 per cent, he is not going to win the North East with about 56 percent, he is going to lose in North Central”.

The SenatePresident went on to say thatPresident Buhari will not winNorth West by 75 per cent, “North West is going to be maybe 3 or 4 states, three states for us and four states for them, and in North East, he’s not going to win by 80 percent”.

Saraki went on to say that the numbers which the APC will lose in the North East and North West, he cannot make it up anywhere in the country”.

The lawmaker asserted that the ruling party is panicking, saying “The numbers do not support their victory”.

He said in 2015 it was a race between a Muslim northerner against a Christiansoutherner, “There was a general movement by the entire north to deliver to one person, that’s not there, so the numbers in the North West, North East do no support 75/80 percent”.

The former Kwara state governor said he was certain that the votes lost by APC in the north will not be made up for in the south, hence, calling on all Nigerians to be vigilant “that there must be a game plan”.
