“No election winner will be denied his mandate, irrespective of the party to which they belonged,” apparently in response to the Campaign Director-General, Governor Simon Lalong who announced the intention to recreate the SDP-Moshood Abiola historic victory in 2003 in a campaign that took off in the same city 30 years ago. That election victory was annulled by the military.
Issue based

APC ideals

The President said it is only the APC that can steer Nigeria to fulfill its historic purpose adding that by working together with the leadership of the party, the campaign council, and its teeming supporters, the goal will be achieved.
The Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Adamu led other party stalwarts, including Bola Tinubu to call on Nigerians to vote for the APC ticket which is the surest way to prosperity for the country.
