President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to say that while the All Progressives Congress worked hard to retain power in the 2023 general elections, opposition political parties lost due to overconfidence.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, a blend of overconfidence, complacency and poor tactical moves actually cost the opposition their desired victory and sank them into a post-election crisis.

He added that it is funny seeing how the opposition are finding it hard to convince those who supported them from the outside that they actually defeated APC.

His words, “Our party blended confidence with caution, we worked hard and won. Now, their overconfidence is creating more problems for the opposition than anyone else.”

“They (the opposition) were already telling their foreign backers that they would defeat the APC. Our party blended confidence with caution, we worked hard and won.”

“Now, their overconfidence is creating more problems for the opposition than anyone else. They are finding it hard to convince those who supported them from the outside why they are unable to beat us.”

“A combination of overconfidence, complacency and bad tactical moves made them lose, plain and clear. This has created more problems in their camp. Why did they fail to remove us?”

“Try and keep solving problems. Be courageous to discuss them openly among yourselves.”

“This is the best way to survive politically in Nigeria. You (governors) have a programme to meet regularly and to discuss issues and how to maintain the party nationwide.”
