The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) will win 2019 elections.
In an interview with ThisDay, Mohammed said: “We will not be defeated, don’t even contemplate that, we will not be defeated, who will defeat us? Let me tell you, I am a realist. I wish we had a real opposition, I wish we had a government that is not performing, then I would have been worried.”
He also boasted that the Buhari-led administration has enough to campaign on.
“We would be campaigning on the fact that we have delivered on our promises of fighting insecurity and revamping the economy and fighting corruption. And how have we done this?
“The North East was the stronghold of Boko Haram, but today we have no single community that is under Boko Haram and since we came in, peace has returned, schools have been rebuilt, even the El-Kanemi Football Club now play their matches in Maiduguri, after two years of relocating to Katsina State at the height of Boko Haram insurgency,” he said.
