El-Rufai- The Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has revealed while the All Progressives Congress (APC) may have lost in the Edo elections because voters changed their minds in the last two weeks.
According to El-Rufai, he said, that on Monday morning, while appearing on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, that Governor Obaseki won because the state citizens want Obaseki to complete his second term in office and kick against Godfatherism in the state.
According to the Governor, he was optimistic as three weeks ago, because of the result of polls.
“Three weeks ago, the polls clearly showed the APC was going to win.
“But the results came out differently from what we expected.
“The election was decent. We were worried about violence, but there was none at all.
“Obaseki has won and that is it. You have to go into elections knowing you can lose.”

El-Rufai also insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari does not try to influence elections with the federal might.
“The President has never used what is called federal might to steal elections as other governments have done in the past.
“We always insist everyone go and pitch to the people and may the best man win,” he concluded.
