APC will win Edo, Ondo governorship elections, says Ganduje 

Abdullahi Ganduje

Abdullahi Ganduje, national chair of All Progressives Congress (APC), says the party will win the forthcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states.

Ganduje said a “political machinery” has been put in place to pave the way for a landslide victory of the party’s candidate in Edo.

Speaking during a visit by the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kano correspondents’ chapel, Ganduje said the APC is ready to recover the state from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

“I believe our campaign is in high spirit, we are getting ready for that election and we believe we will be able to recover our state,” he said.

“If we win Edo, we will be getting an additional state for the party. It will be 21 states out of 36.

“This is because it was an APC state but because of internal bubbles, we lost it to PDP but we are sure we will recover that state.

”For Ondo state, it’s already an APC state and when the former governor died, he left a number of problems,but we were able to resolve those issues.

”We conducted primaries, we succeeded in getting the person that they wanted.”

Ganduje said that the party is also getting ready for the governorship election in Anambra.

He said the APC has been putting measures in place to take control of the states in the south-east geopolitical zone.

“Next year, there will be Anambra, which has been a state governed by APGA for many years, but we have introduced a new scheme,” he said.

”The north, south-east political zones are all claiming that they have been marginalised. The south-east geopolitical zone is saying the same thing. But what we are telling them is that the marginalisation has been created by them.

“How can you have five states ruled by four political parties? What will be your political bargain?

“We want to start with Anambra. Already, we have Ebonyi and Imo. Now we are encroaching into that zone to ensure that we capture most of the states. And if we get what we want, we capture all the states.”
