NAIJ.com gathers that he stated that Nigerians understand that the APC was doing its best to out the country back on track.
In his words: ‘‘One thing you don’t know is that the country has been bastardized for 16 solid years under the rule of the PDP and so it needs another 16 years to be fixed. Yes, things are difficult because that is the process of rebuilding, it is always very easy to destroy but difficult to rebuild.
‘‘By the grace of God, the APC will win reelection and even win more states that it did not win in 2015 including Gombe because Nigerians are gradually understanding that what the APC is doing to get the country back on a good track. I don’t have any iota of doubt in my mind that the APC will do even better than 2015.’’
Muazu further expressed confidence that he would gain the APC’s ticket even though there are no less than 10 candidates vying for the ticket.
He said: ‘‘I am a dogged fighter, a very courageous person who never relents until a goal is achieved. I am not scared of challenges because I believe in myself that is why I am not afraid of investing in developing the party.
‘‘I am from a respected royal family. You ask people who have interacted with me as a politician, they will tell you, I am a straightforward person. I have also gone around the state and I don’t know any aspirant that is not taking Habu Muazu seriously.’’
