Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, on Thursday February 5 said that the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, President Goodluck Jonathan will win the election with three million votes, just as it stressed that he will win in the troubled state of Borno State.

While speaking with Journalists in Abuja, Director of Operations, TAN, Ben Chuks Nwosu, pointed out that the outcome of the presidential election would be determined by votes of eligible Nigerians and not by crowds present at rallies.

He said that the bulk votes would also determine the election and not propaganda or euphoria of people at rallies, adding that most people who were always present at rallies do not have Permanent Voters Cards.

“I think that statistics and bloc votes will determine this election, not euphoria or crowd at campaign grounds. The truth is that whatever figure that is placed on the table on the day of the election is what will determine the winner of the election and not the number of people that have collected their PVCs.”

“Gombe people are in support of the president, President Jonathan has a lot of followers in Adamawa, Borno, Jigawa and others states of the North east,” he said.

He also noted that his prediction was based on the achievements of President Jonathan in the last four years, which he listed as ‎agriculture, transport, aviation, water resources, education, and the economy.

“Wait for the election proper and the women, youth, students, transporters, physically challenged and other groups deliver block vote to President Jonathan and the party, and we at TAN are proud of Nigerians for appreciating the massive development of the President so far,” he stressed.

According to him, president Jonathan has always insisted on campaigning with a manageable crowd even from the members of his party which were limited to what the security could control as against the mammoth crowd that follows the APC candidate without control.

Furthermore, he stressed that the zonal rallies which TAN organized before the campaigns have watered the ground for a smooth sail by the president, adding that what TAN has done was to publicise and sell the achievements of President Jonathan.

Nwosu added that despite claims and allegations that the PVCs were distributed more in the north where it was believed that APC has stronghold than any other parts of the country, Jonathan’s achievements in his first term was good enough to earn him a second term.

“I believe that this election may be close, but we care convinced that the President will win his second term mandate because he has a record of performance,” he said.
