Ondo is next – Ganduje boasts

The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said that Ondo State is next to grab by the ruling party.

Ganduje stated this on Monday in Abuja while closing the situation room set up at the party’s national secretariat to monitor the just concluded Edo governorship election.

Ganduje who assured that the ruling party will replicate the victory recorded in Edo State in the forthcoming governorship election in Ondo State said: “This exercise (Edo governorship election) was a difficult one because we competed with several obstacles. We had a governor (Obaseki) who was one of our own before. We are children of the same father, but with different mothers, all engaged in the contests.

“So we didn’t part well. We parted in pieces, and then he left our party for the PDP, where the fight continued until yesterday (Sunday) when we were able to reclaim power.

“Even before the election, one side is already overheating the polity. He (Obaseki) said it is a do-or-die election. But we said ‘No, our own would be do-and-succeed. This is because if you die, who will introduce your successor? So we are here to thank all the stakeholders.”
