More delegates on Tuesday arrived Lagos for the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential election holding on Wednesday.
Hundreds of delegates across the country arrived through the two local
airport terminals (MMA1 & MMA2).
Some of the delegates who disembarked at the Murtala Muhammed Airport were from Kano, Gombe, Adamawa, Katsina and Kaduna states.
Although, many of them declined to comment on their expectations on the elections, a few spoke with our reporter under conditions of anonymity.
A delegate from Kano state said; “I am in Lagos to vote for Muhammadu Buhari because of his integrity.
“Buhari has shown that he can develop Nigeria and can stop corruption which is destroying us.”
According to him, although most of his colleagues would vote for Rabiu Kwankwaso, he will still vote for Buhari.
Some of the delegates from Katsina state said they would vote for Buhari, while some of the Gombe state delegates also said Buhari was their choice and that they will vote for him.
However, virtually all the delegates interviewed said that for the progress of the party, they would be bound by whatever was the outcome of the election. They pledged that they would support the candidate that emerges as the party’s presidential flag bearer at the end of the convention.

Former head of state Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Kano state governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, Imo governor Rochas Okorocha and publishers of Leadership Newspaper Sam Nda-Isaiah are contesting for the sole presidential ticket of the party in the 2015 elections.
