Adedayo Akinwale in Abuja

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has said it is almost certain that the party will win the September 21 Edo State governorship election due to the qualities of its candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo.

Ganduje, who said this yesterday in Abuja when he presented the certificate of return to Okpebholo, stressed the need for other aspirants to work with him to ensure the party’s victory in the state.

He said that direct primaries were held in 192 wards in the state with records and video evidence, adding that Okpebholo was declared the winner because he got the highest votes.
“The full cooperation, harmony, and unity of all aspirants and members of our party is all we need now to win Edo in the coming election now that the primary is over.

“The party has a product that is refined, well packaged, and sellable to the electorate in the person of Okpebholo and is therefore ready to win Edo,” Ganduje said.
He said that other aspirants had since congratulated Okpebholo as the party’s candidate.
The party’s Deputy National Organising Secretary, Mr. Nze Duru, while presenting the committee’s report to Ganduje, said the primaries were adjudged nationally and internationally as the most peaceful, fairest, and transparent in the state.

Okpebholo in his remarks, called on other aspirants who contested the party’s ticket with him to join forces with him to ensure that the APC win the September 21 governorship election.

Also speaking, Sen. Lucky Imasuen, who was one of the aspirants that contested the party’s ticket with Okpebholo, said the National Working Committee (NWC) was hard working, sincere, and fair in the handling of the Edo primary election.

He commended the APC Edo Governorship Primary Election Committee for a job well done, assuring that the other aspirants would work hand in hand with Okpebholo to ensure APC’s victory at the poll.
