Pressure was mounting on the All Progressives Congress, APC governorship candidate in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu on Sunday to make the concession call to Governor Godwin Obaseki.

The pressure from within the All Progressives Congress, APC came as the Independent National Electoral Commission announced more results putting Obaseki in an unassailable lead.

The pressure on Ize-Iyamu came as APC stakeholders from within the South-South began to trade blames over the outcome of the election.

Many stakeholders were ruing the fact that the party had lost its last foothold in the South-South putting the party to a great disadvantage after the reverses in Bayelsa and now Edo States.

“Take a step of faith and make that call now,” one APC chieftain said on Sunday afternoon on an APC chat room. The call received support from many others who lamented the claim the party lacked cohesion in the South-South region.

Obaseki has meanwhile taken a commanding lead with victories in 11 of the 16 Local Government Areas so far declared.
