Candidate of the Action Alliance, AA in the November 8 governorship election in Anambra state, Ozo Jeff Nweke has revealed what his reaction would be shortly after results of the exercise is declared.
He said he would not be surprised if he would be declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, having campaigned vigorously to convince the electorate of his capacity to deliver.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after a 'Road Show' that attracted massive turnout of supporters, the AA flag bearer however said he would not contest the results if the outcome was not to his favour.
He said, "The people are convinced I'm going to represent them well if I win. They're convinced I'll speak their language and look at them with human face.
"All these their expectations are summed up in me. So no one will be surprised and I won't be surprised that come November 8, I'll emerge the winner.
"But if the outcome of the result didn't favor me, I'll accept the results in good faith. I'll only say the people have spoken that I'm not going to govern them this time around."
On security, Nweke said he was not expecting any untoward situation throughout the electioneering period.
He added, "I don't think there's anything that will disrupt the security situation of the state before, during and after the election.
"I believe every unforeseen situation has been taken care of by the security agencies and the INEC.
"We expect the security personnel to live up to the expectations. No stone should be left unturned, including ensuring all machineries are put in place to deter any untoward situations.
"We're hoping to witness a free, fair and peaceful election, especially with the new INEC chairman who has assured that Anambra election to be the freest and fairest poll ever conducted in Nigeria."
