Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), says he is confident of winning the election.

Kwakwanso spoke with journalists after casting his vote in Tandu 1, Kwankwasu ward in Madobi LGA of Kano state.

The former governor called for political tolerance among politicians, promising to accept the final results of the election.

“I will win the election by the special Grace of Allah. We must demonstrate a high sense of political tolerance to ensure peaceful conduct of future exercise,” he said.

“I’m satisfied with INEC and the voting exercise, and I’m positive to win my unit and LG. I’ll accept the final result of the election.”

The former governor had earlier played down insinuations that he cannot win the presidential election.

“I always enjoy people who would want to underrate me. They had done that in 1999. As far as we are concerned in NNPP. We have locked northern Nigeria,” he had said.

“Do you see any poll from northern Nigeria? All those polls were coming from the south and the media that is propagating that fake information is mainly from that part of the country.

“These things (polls) are on the telephone. Over 90 percent of my supporters don’t even know Twitter or social media. if you want to meet them, go to Wuse Market, go to the markets in Kano, go to the market in Sabo, Ibadan, go to markets in Rivers and the roads and so on, and ask people.”
