Elder statesman Tanko Yakasai, has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will lose the 2019 elections.
He said this when High Chief Raymond Dokpesi and members of his campaign team visited the Elder Statesman’s Kano residence to seek his support for the position of chairman of the PDP at the upcoming national convention in Port Harcourt.
The former presidential adviser in the Second Republic said if the exercise is free and fair, Nigerians will vote out the government of the APC because the state of poverty and cost of living is on the increase.
“In my opinion, Nigerians will vote out APC in 2019 because they are complaining over the cost of living and the rate of poverty is on the increase. I don’t see how APC will win if they don’t manipulate the process,
“How much was a dollar last year, how much is it now? What about the cost of bag of rice, basket of tomatoes and others.
“Farmers are complaining about fertilizers but it was not like this when PDP was in power,” he said.
