Ize-Iyamu Option: Obaseki Damns Oshiomhole

By GWG Staff

Governor Godwin Obaseki has dismissed the endorsement of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu for the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship primary as a charade that was bound to further endanger the prospects of the party in the forthcoming election.

Observing that the choice of the next candidate would be determined by the party in Benin and not by those he described as dissidents operating from Abuja.

It was the first public reaction by Obaseki since the public revelation of Ize-Iyamu as the choice of the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole led tendency in the party to slug for the ticket against him.

“The Edo State chapter of the APC, which is responsible for deploying the inner workings of the party towards the emergence of a candidate of the APC in the forthcoming gubernatorial election, resides and operates in Edo State, not Abuja.”

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr. Crusoe Osagie, the governor said:

He said the charade in Abuja was not surprising as it was hatched and actuated by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and members of his Edo Peoples Movement (EPM), a dissident group of politicians in the state.

“It is, therefore, hilarious to hear that a so-called consensus candidate for the party in Edo State governorship election was selected in Abuja. For us, this is a joke taken too far and clearly shows that Comrade Adams Oshiomhole once again has set the APC on a journey to perdition in Edo State as he did in Zamfara, Bayelsa, Rivers, Taraba and several other states.”

He noted that under Oshiomhole, APC did not lose elections due to unpopularity but as a result of the lawless conduct choreographed by Oshiomhole, which has placed the APC in dire straits one time too many.

“The last time we checked, the timetable released by Oshiomhole’s National Working Committee (NWC) fixed Edo Primary election for 22nd of June,2020 and it is expected to hold in Edo State, but we now hear that they have conducted the primary election three weeks before the set date in a jurisdiction far away from Edo State, making a mockery of our great party, the APC, President Muhammadu Buhari, the presidency and all other institutions and esteemed individuals associated with our party.

“Our conclusion on this matter is that like all other illegal actions taken by Oshiomhole, this too is a nullity and shall come to no-effect,” he noted.
