Yahaya Bello Reveals APC’s Plot To Take Edo,Ondo, Anambra, Osun

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi, has revealed how the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) is planning to win Edo and Ondo states in the forthcoming governorship elections in the states.

He said that the party would also take Anambra State and record it as a second APC state in the Southeast, and also go further to capture Ekiti and Osun in subsequent elections.

Bello, spoke shortly after meeting with the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, along with his colleagues from the Northcentral zone, saying that despite the current crisis rocking the party, APC would surmount it all and wax stronger.

“We are going to win Edo State and we shall win overwhelmingly for APC, we are going to go to Ondo state and win it overwhelmingly for APC. We will take Anambra State and record it as a second APC state in the Southeast and integrate our Igbo brothers into the fold and we are going to take Ekiti and Osun once again.

“Our party is one solid party. In a particular big family like that, you won’t rule out misunderstanding in one way or the other. But 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 are going to come out very strong.”

“So, we are going to continue to expand our coast. So, APC is strong;  we are not divided, we are only seeing one same point from different angle and we are trying to make ourselves understand the points, that is just it, there is no misunderstanding”, he said.

Bello,who said he felt sad that Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki left the party, noted that notwithstanding his incumbency, the APC would take the state back from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the election.

“We have seen those in power before that were dethroned, we have seen practically that President Muhammadu Buhari of APC dethroned PDP, the former President that was on seat. So, that is not any trouble at all.

“APC is going to win Edo State. But unfortunately, I really felt the exit of my colleague, His Excellency Governor Godwin Obaseki, in whatever circumstance to another political party, is painful”, he said.
