The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has expressed optimism that Governor Mohammed Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa State will win his reelection bid.
The SGF, who spoke to newsmen in Jimeta, Yola, after casting his vote on Saturday, was similarly optimistic that candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Assembly election would also win their seats.
“We’re winning,” the SGF said with emphasis at 11.08 am, immediately after dropping his ballot papers at his 009 polling unit in Gwadabawa Ward, Jimeta, Yola North LGA.

“We are confident of victory,” Mijinyawa told pressmen after casting his vote about 10.30 am at Unit 009 of Adarawo Ward in Yola town.
“We deserve our next terms,” he asserted, adding that he believed his optimism would be justified when results begin to come out.
