We’ll Use Edo Method To Win Upcoming Election In Ondo, Anambra– APC Chairman, Ganduje 

National chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has said that the party would replicate its template in Edo State governorship election to win the November 16 election in Ondo State.

Ganduje, a former governor of Kano State, also said the party would use the same method to win Anambra currently under the control of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and other states in the South East in future elections.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the election.

The returning officer, Prof. Faruk Adamu Kuta, announced that the APC candidate secured 291,667 votes, defeating his closest rival, Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who had 247,274 votes and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) with 22,763 votes.

Speaking on Monday in Abuja, while celebrating the victory of Senator Monday Okpebholo with members of the Edo state election situation room, Ganduje said a big party like the APC ought to have been fully in charge of the South East geo-political zone, and urged party leaders at all levels to work hard towards actualising the party’s objectives.

“We have started working to develop strategies to win these states. Next year, Anambra state will follow. Let me remind you that we have a project which we named political demarginalisation of South East geo-political zone.

“That project is also a task that must be done. We will face South East zone with 5 states. We already have 2, but 2 is too small for a big party like ours. We will face that state and see how we can recover many states in our favour,” Ganduje said.
