As collation of votes cast by voters across the nation is ongoing, Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) identified as Atiku Abubakar, has stated that with results collated so far, he is confident of victory.

iDONSABI gathers that Atiku Abubakar made this statement early on Sunday in a statement by his campaign spokesperson identified as Phrank Shaibu.

The statement read:

 “With strong shares of the vote in the South- South, South- East as well as an increased share in the South-West and North-Central, we are very pleased with the progress the PDP has made. We look forward to sharing some exciting news in other parts of the country very soon, which will confound all the armchair pundits.”

The statement further stressed that with the PDP’s high tech, cloud-based SVC system – which is capable of collating in real-time the results from the 176,000 voting points across the nation, the PDP Presidential candidate could boldly assure his supporters that victory was very close.

The statement made available by Phrank Shaibu, further said:

“I am familiar with how brazen and the complete lack of shame the All Progressives Congress, APC, can exhibit, but  I was shocked to witness just how low they went last night by accusing the PDP of ‘recruiting armed thugs’ to do just that. Why would we want to do that when we are winning? “Furthermore I would like to say how proud I was of PDP supporters who conducted themselves so peacefully despite the significant provocations and threats of violence, removal and burning of ballot boxes and the likes.” The statement also thanked the security forces and election officials who in the main conducted their duties with exemplary professionalism.”
