The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress A(PC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, yesterday said he will not underestimate the power of opposition parties ahead of the 2023 general election.
Adamu said this during an interview on Arise TV.
He said: “Honestly, I have never underestimated the capacity of my opponents. I will not do so now. This is not the first time I will be party chairman. I have been Secretary of the party, I have been chairman of the party at the state level. I have faced elections: I have won some and lost some. I have no reason whatsoever to doubt my opponent.
“The gentleman, who is chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is a friend of mine. We have known even before we got these positions.
“Peter Obi, I knew him when he was governor of Anambra State. I visited him. These are people who mean well, as far as I’m concerned. They are well grounded. I don’t have doubts about that.
“So, I have no reason whatsoever to underestimate their ability to lead their people to victory.” Adamu expressed confidence that the ruling party is more organised than the opposition party ahead of the 2023 general election.
He said: “I am telling you that we are better organised. We have a larger number of followers. We have got the register of members of the party. You can verify it. These other parties don’t have. “I don’t contemplate any situation that will make us not to win the elections in 2023.”
