Ize-Iyamu Vows Showdown With Obaseki Over Ban On Rallies

All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has vowed a showdown with Governor Godwin Obaseki over the government’s ban on the staging of political rallies.

Speaking at a press conference in Benin where APC chieftains came to rally support for the embattled national chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, Ize-Iyamu said the order was aimed at caging opponents of the governor.

Ize-Iyamu said that it was untenable for the governor to be campaigning while tying his political rivals to his order.

“Out of desperation, the state governor announced that he has banned rallies in the state where that authority for him to say that came from, I don’t know.

“We need to make him know that in a civilian dispensation, there are  procedures so we don’t understand where he got the authority to ban rallies but the funny thing is that the same rally that he has banned, in the past one week, the governor has flouted that decree, he has held a rally at Irrua, he has held a rally at Auchi only yesterday he held a rally at Urokpota Hall in Benin.

“The governor cannot be doing rallies and tell us that we cannot hold rallies so we want to put him on notice that we will begin to hold rallies and we are waiting for him as the emperor of Edo state to put us to jail.”
