Ahead of the 2019 general elections, some volunteers of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have erected a huge broom said to be the ‘World Largest Broom’ in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
The broom was erected in front of the city gate on Thursday. Recall that the broom is the major insignia of the ruling party.
When TNG approached one of the volunteers erecting the broom, he said:
‘We are doing this in readiness for our victory next week Saturday. This is a huge sign of support to all our candidates nationwide and President Muhammadu Buhari in particular. We are ready to sweep away the remnants of the tattered umbrella come February 16 and March 2nd”, the enthusiastic party supporter who spoke on condition of anonymity said.
The erection of the broom has also generated reactions on social media.
The Presidential and National Assembly elections will hold on Saturday, February 16, 2019, while the governorship and state legislative elections will hold on Saturday, March 2, 2019.
