Nine days to November 11 governorship election Tinubu says all I want is free and fair

President Bola Tinubu has made a demand on the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidates for the November 11 election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, would conduct governorship election in Bayelsa, Kogi, and Imo states on November 11.

While Timipre Sylva is representing APC in Bayelsa State, Governor Hope Uzodinma is the party’s flagbearer in Imo State. Usman Ododo is APC’s candidate in Kogi State.

However, Tinubu appealed to the APC candidates to ensure the November 11 governorship election is free, fair and credible.

The President spoke on Thursday in Abuja.

According to Tinubu: “All I am pleading for is for free and fair election. I believe we will do well.”

The President expressed optimism about the party’s chances at the off-cycle election.

He said that the collective efforts of the party officials and supporters, coupled with the track records of the candidates, would see the party through.

Some Nigerians are saying Tinubu of all people is not supposed to be talking about free and fair elections since his election was marked with irregularities, manipulations and rigging.
