Guber Poll: Lawan boasts APC will win 28 states as he votes
After casting his ballot on Saturday, Senate President Ahmad Lawan predicted that the All Progressives Congress, the current government, will win at least 28 states.
At the Katuzu ward polling location in the Bade Local Government Area of Yobe State, where he voted in the governorship and state house of assembly elections, Lawan responded to inquiries from reporters by making the statement.
At the time of the most recent presidential election, the APC enjoyed an outright victory in 12 states, giving it control of 21 of the 36 states.

Lawan claimed that some of the credit for the progress in the nation’s election system should go to the APC, President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, and the ninth National Assembly.
Lawan said, “We are in control of the National Assembly. We have won the Presidency. We are going to win nothing less than 28 states at the end of this election.”
“The APC and the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari deserve credit, that we have allowed the process to be entirely determined by the guidelines and regulations of INEC.
“That we don’t use our incumbency factor to stop other political parties or opposition from winning in areas that are strong APC enclave”, he said.
He added, “The ninth National Assembly also deserves credit for passing a law that has made the process of our elections better.
“I think there is still room for improvement but kudos to the ninth National Assembly for producing an Electoral Act that is giving more roles to technology to decide and influence the outcome of our elections rather than some kind of fraud.”
Commenting on the electoral process, the Senate President said he was “happy that the BVAS is working here. I’m yet to hear any report about the failure of the process anywhere in my Local Government so far.”
