Senior Pastors At War Over Edo Guber

By GWG Staff

Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu’s Campaign Organization has said that the All Progressives Congress Party (APC) and its governorship candidate in the September 19 elections in Edo State, will neither be fazed nor cowed by fake news being promoted by hired hirelings of the People’s Democratic Party.

The Ize-Iyamu Campaign said rather than tell the electorate what quality PDP and its candidate possess to win the September polls, they have hired Reno Omokri, to spread falsehood in a smear campaign planned to distract the people from their internal wrangling and lack of records.

Omokiri is the pastor of the Mind of Christ Christian Center in California and Abuja. He is also known for using social media to project the Gospel. He was an aide in the President Goodluck Jonathan administration and has remained one of the most biting critics of the Buhari administration.  

However, countering him on Thursday, Pastor Ize-Iyamu speaking through his spokesman, John Mayaki said: “Reno Omokri is a discredited man whose undying love for publicity and unrestrained appetite to feel and look and informed has put in the suffering of endless chase of relevance largely on social media where he promotes falsehood, divisiveness, and other deplorable tasks his paymasters set him to.”

“One of those falsehoods is the one that formulated his topic in his most recent video. Adopting the overused tactic of failed propagandists like himself who credit their fictions and concocted stories to ‘unnamed sources’ in the Presidency and other seats of power, Reno lied that a plan was afoot by the Federal Government to purportedly circumvent the choice of Edo people in the Governorship election scheduled for the 19th of September.”

Mayaki dismissed Reno’s claims that the Presidency was mounting pressure on INEC to rig the Edo election in favor of the APC, stating that apart from the President’s characteristic respect for institutional independence and protection of the integrity of the country’s democracy, Ize-Iyamu is a widely loved candidate who will overwhelmingly win the election without any compromise.

He said unlike the PDP where the imposition of Godwin Obaseki at the wee hours has caused an internal implosion that set the party off-course, the APC has established a strong dominance and advantage with Ize-Iyamu’s SIMPLE agenda and the candidate’s natural charisma as a unifier and bridge-builder.

“Only losers and a riven political party like the PDP plans to rig election. And it is on this note that we must take Reno’s comments as a foreshadowing and an inadvertent reveal of the plans of this rejected political party to use their trademark violence, disregard for the law, and chaos to try to disrupt the election.”

“Already, their godfather, Nyesom Wike, who brandishes machetes at campaign grounds, is threatening fire and brimstone. Nigerians and Edo people must beware even as we repeat our call to INEC, the Police, and other relevant agencies to remain on guard.”
