Tag edo election 2016 apc candidate wins edo governorship election

I think there may be a mistake here.

The Edo State Governorship election was held on September 10, 2016, and the winner was Godwin Obaseki, who ran on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). He defeated the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

So, to correct your statement: the APC candidate, Godwin Obaseki, won the Edo Governorship election in 2016, not the other way around.
