Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has come out to say that APC will take Edo State back from Governor Godwin Obaseki who recently joined PDP.
Gov. Yahaya recently revealed that being an incumbent governor is no guarantee of victory for the governor because current leaders like GEJ have lost their positions before.
According to him, APC is a solid party so misunderstandings are normal among its members, however that will not stop the gathering from achieving its aim of taking over governance in Nigeria.
He added that APC remains strong, not divided, despite the several conflicts.
His words, “Our party is one solid party. In a particularly big family like that, you won’t rule out any misunderstanding in one way or the other. however I can assure you that our party is strong under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari and as a father, he is already looking into it and I can assure you that We're going to come out very strong.
“We're going to go to Edo State and we shall win Edo state election overwhelmingly for APC, We're going to go to Ondo state and win it overwhelmingly for APC. We will take Anambra State and record it as another APC state from the South East and integrate our Igbo brothers into the fold and We're going to take Ekiti and Osun once again.
“So, We're going to continue to expand our coast. So, APC is strong We're not divided, We're only seeing one same point from a different angle and We're trying to make ourselves understand the points, that is just it, there is no misunderstanding.”
“We've seen those in power before that are dethroned, We've seen practically that President Muhammadu Buhari of APC dethroned PDP, the previous President (Dr Goodluck Jonathan) that was on the seat.
“So, that is not any trouble at all. APC is going to win Edo State. however unfortunately, I really felt the leaving of my colleague, His Excellency Governor Godwin Obaseki in whatever circumstance to another political party. It is painful anyway, however as a political party We're going to take it back.”
