Speaking at his residence in the State House 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 over confidence 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.
Speaking in response to an issue raised by Governor Bagudu, the President said: “An important reason I congratulate Asiwaju on winning is because the opposition got support and false hope from outside and went on to create the impression that they will win, that they will defeat us. How more wrong could anyone be?”
