Minister optimistic of APC’s victory in Saturday’s elections in Yobe
The Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, is optimistic that candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would emerge victorious in Saturday’s gubernatorial and state assembly elections in Yobe.
Addressing journalists on Saturday in Potiskum, Mr Aliyu said the party had identified some issues that led to its setbacks in the presidential election and addressed them.
He, therefore, expressed assurances that Governor Buni and other members of the House of Assembly would win seamlessly.
He, therefore, called on those who might become winners to serve the people of the state diligently, to justify the confidence reposed on them by the electorate.
