Meanwhile the Secretary to the Borno State Government Amb. Baba Jida told reporters at the collation center that the performance of the party at the Saturday’s presidential elections has exceeded the expectations of many, adding that the party is cruising to victory.
“In view of the constraints faced by Borno, we feel that the people have done well to exercise their right to vote. Under the circumstance that our people have found themselves, we have done very well.
“From what we have, the APC have
approximately 95 per cent while the PDP have slightly 5 per cent. The turnout is not very good and it should be expected. By the time the result from southern Borno and that of Jere
and MMC come in it may improve the figures we have. People are happy to participate in the election.
“The APC is cruising to landslide victory. We have done better than we thought. I am sure our opponents are struggling to get maybe just 25 per cent in Borno state but from the look of things, they are not likely to get more than 10 per cent,” Amb. Baba Jida said.
