The lawyer said:

The labour party candidate is the most popular of the candidates so far if everything appearing in the media is true, including the polls that have been conducted.

He has the majority of the youths behind him, and most Nigerians are tired of the current state of things. They need a new order. And if we observe well, it is evident that the will of the people now reflects in elections. Their votes now count. Incumbents/parties in power now lose elections.

The factor that may affect the party's victory is voters' apathy which, in my opinion, is unlikely.

According to inec, the majority of registered voters are youths; if the election is free and fair, and people are not hindered from voting by violence or threat, I see the will of people coming to pass.
