“Honestly, I have never underestimated the capacity of my opponents. I will not do so now. This is not the first time I will be party chairman. I have been Secretary of the party, and I have been chairman of the party at the state level. I have faced elections: I have won some and lost some. I have no reason whatsoever to doubt my opponent.
“Peter Obi, I knew him when he was governor of Anambra State. I visited him. These are people who mean well, as far as I’m concerned. They are well grounded. I don’t have doubts about that.
“So, I have no reason whatsoever to underestimate their ability to lead their people to victory.”
