The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has presented the Certificate of Return to Senator Monday Okpebholo, the winner of the party’s gubernatorial primary election in Edo State.
Speaking while presenting Okpebholo with the certificate,
Ganduje declared that it is almost certain that the APC will win the September
21 Edo Governorship Election.
Ganduje said his confidence is based on the qualities of the
party’s candidate.
The APC national chairman, who presented the certificate of
return to Okpebholo in Abuja on Saturday, said there was a need for other
aspirants to work with him to ensure the party’s victory in the state.
According to him, direct primaries were held in 192 wards in
the state with records and video evidence, stressing that Okpebholo was
declared 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.
The former Kano State governor 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 primary election
was adjudged nationally and internationally to be the most peaceful, fairest
and most transparent in the state.
Okpebholo, in his remarks, called on other aspirants who
contested the party’s ticket to join forces with him to ensure that the APC win
the September 21 governorship election.
Okpebholo currently represents Edo Central at the National
Assembly.
