The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Sunday declared that his party would win the governorship elections in both Kogi and Bayelsa states.

The Nation reports that Tinubu made the verdict while speaking in Benin city, Edo state at the 90th birthday of Chief David Edebiri, the Esogban of Benin kingdom on Sunday.

He said he expects victory for the APC in both states, adding that there was no other political party in the two states.

The former Lagos state governor added that broom will come together and sweep all the debris to secure topmost seats on the two states.

He said: “I expect nothing less than victory in Kogi and Bayelsa states. Who is the other party?”

Reacting to the alleged poor performance of Governor Yahaya Bello in Kogi state, the APC leader said: “If you don’t have complaints in politics, then there is no democracy, so we only pay attention to the noise in the market because we have so many apples, oranges and various fruits of different character but there is one thing that is consistent.

“This is a market of many branches and this is the broom; they will come together as a bunch to sweep clean all the debris of the past, that is it, we are going to win.”
