Senate Deputy Minority Leader, Senator Emmanuel Bwacha (PDP-Taraba South), has expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic Party will win the 2019 presidential election.

Bwacha, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja, said PDP has 70 per cent chance of winning elections in most parts of the country.

“The PDP has a greater chance of winning the Presidential Election in 2019 if it is a free and fair election.

“The matter is beyond President Muhammadu Buhari as an individual because the electorate will vote people on the basis of who they are and their performance in office,’’ Bwacha said.

He said the chances of any elected official to be returned depends largely on how the electorate feel about them, saying that elected officials are supposed to be the messengers of the people.

Bwacha said that there was no rift between him and the people of Taraba South Senatorial District, saying, “That is my staying power and I have become a phenomenon in my district.

“Basically we are doing our best to ensure that we leave our footprints on the sands of time, and, to the glory of God, we are touching the lives of our people.“
