Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari has stressed that while the All Progressive Congress (APC) was working hard to retain power in the recent elections, the combined opposition parties was a victim of over confidence- the main reason why he believed they lost.
Speaking Thursday at his residence in the State House, Abuja where he received the Progressive Governors Forum led by their Chairman, Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, the President said: “They were already telling their foreign backers that they would defeat the APC. Our Party blended confidence with caution, we worked hard and won. Now, their overconfidence is creating more problems for the opposition than anyone else. They are finding it hard to convince those who supported them from outside why they are unable to beat us.
