One of the aides to the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said that the latest results of the Edo governorship election have shown that the All Progressives Congress (APC) needs “some soul searching for survival”

He wrote: “The outcome of #EdoElection has some important lessons for APC as a party, not just in Edo but equally at the center.
