The African Democratic Congress vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed confidence that the party will defeat the All Progressives Congress in the North-East and North-West geopolitical zones.
Amaechi spoke on Saturday at a presidential campaign rally in Bauchi State, where he claimed that the ADC had the support of 13 states across the two regions.
He contrasted this with the South-West, where he said President Bola Tinubu’s APC had the backing of five states.
According to the former Rivers State governor, the sixth state in the region would support the Allied Peoples Movement, which he claimed had Governor Seyi Makinde as its presidential candidate.
Amaechi also promised that an ADC-led government would tackle corruption and insecurity, while creating conditions that would allow farmers to return to their farms.
He urged Nigerians to participate in the elections and protect their votes.
