National chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has boosted that his ruling party would use 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 template to win Anambra currently under the control of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and other states in the South East in future elections.
Grassroots Parrot had reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declared Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the keenly contested election.
Ighodalo came second with 247,274 votes behind the APC candidate who scored 291,667 votes. Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) came a distant third in the race with 22,763 votes.

Ganduje said this on Monday in Abuja, while celebrating the victory of Senator Monday Okpebholo with members of the Edo state election situation room.
According to him, 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 actualizing 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.
