Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity has said that his principal usually has at least 12 million votes waiting for him in different parts of Nigeria before elections due to numerous followers.
A statement by Mr Adesina said the President enjoys such love from electorates following his good gesture towards poor and vulnerable Nigerians.
According to him: “It is often said that the man already has at least 12 million votes waiting for him in different parts of the country before the first ballot is cast in general elections. The poor and the vulnerable constitute this large army of voters. They swarm round him, as bees do to the honeypot.
“There is distribution of food and non-food items to the poor and vulnerable across the country, collaboration with States to return and resettle IDPs in their communities of origin, and cooperation with National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) on routine repatriation of Nigerians stranded abroad. About 17,242 of such cases have been handled.
