“My belief is that if the election is conducted freely and fairly, nothing will stop (Asiwaju Bola Ahmed) Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, from winning the election.
“But I see some bigwigs expressing disapproval of his ambition. Some of them are within the APC and some are in opposition parties.
“My belief is that such people, if they find it difficult to win the election, may resort to malpractices, which may include rigging.
“I don’t see any candidate taking maybe 70 percent of the total northern votes in this election."

He further opined that candidates from the north are rarely going to be on the ballot during the elections.
