Edo APC Ticket: Ihonvbere Report Is Rumour, I Am In The Race – Ize-Iyamu

2020 All Progressives Congress, APC governorship candidate in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has dismissed the report of the Prof Julius Ihonvbere led committee that disqualified him from vying for the 2024 governorship ticket of the party as rumour, insisting that he would partake in the exercise.

GWG.ng reports that Ize-Iyamu spoke as he arrived Benin-City to a mammoth crowd at the Benin Airport.

According to Ize-Iyamu, the report of the Ihnovbere Committee was contrary to the directive of the National Working Committee, NWC of the party which had given leeway to all aspirants to contest the ticket.

He said, “I want to assure you that I am in the race and by next week by the grace of God I will collect the form. Any Edo person is worthy of the ticket and I’m not a stranger. I want to assure you that your support will not be in vain and there is nothing to worry about.

“When you are contesting for an election there are bound to be intrigues and all kinds of rumours and stories. The highest organ of our party issued a statement by the publicity secretary and particularly to Edo Governorship election and specifically said that all those who have aspiration to run for governorship should go and collect the forms.

“And that they are the only one to set up a screening committee which they will do at the appropriate time and if you look at the earlier time table released you will find the schedule there. Let me announce that by next week I will collect the form.

“I know there were rumor that some people have been excluded but by that NWC release, that is not possible anymore. The only people that can exclude aspirants is the committee set up by the NWC. I want to assure you that I will contest and win the election,” Pastor Ize-Iyamu said as he countered the report of the Prof Ihonvbere Committee.

On his relationship with the National leader of the party and former governor of the state, Sen. Adams Oshiomhole, he said, “my relationship is cordial. He is my senior brother and I respect age. We have worked together for many years. He is the leader of our party and a distinguished senator.”
