In its statement, the APC said the supplementary elections billed to take place in  Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Kano, Plateau and Sokoto are a sure win, the Party also urged INEC to ensure that the elections are free and fair.

The Party also accused the PDP of plots to rig the elections, alleging that the opposition is planning to subvert the will of the electorate.

As regards the election in Rivers, the Party described the electoral umpire’s decision as ‘illegal’.

APC through its spokesman noted that it is worried about the “unholy alliance between Governor Nyesom Wike, PDP and INEC”.
