Over-confidence, bad tactics made opposition parties lose 2023 presidential election – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari said, yesterday, that over-confidence, complacency and bad tactical moves made the opposition political parties lose the February 25 presidential elections.

He said while the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, was working hard to retain power in the recent elections, the combined opposition was a victim of over-confidence.

Speaking at his residence at State House where he received the Progressive Governors Forum, led by its Chairman, Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State, Buhari said: “They 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 over-confidence is creating more problems for the opposition than anyone else. They are finding it hard to convince those who supported them from outside why they are unable to beat us.
