“2003 and 2007 elections were nothing to write home about, those happened under former President Obasanjo. We all know how the elections went. So, for us in the APC, votes will count.”

He also added that President Buhari has no reason to rig the election, having promised Nigerians that he would ensure the votes were free and fair.

Issa-Onilu further advised the former president to readjust himself to the reality of what he described as an imminent defeat.
