Obaseki Mocks Ize-Iyamu’s Vow To Show Leadership

By GWG Staff

Governor Godwin Obaseki has dismissed Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu’s pledge to lead by example saying that he has no good example to present to the people of Edo State.

The governor in a statement issued on his behalf by his Special Adviser on Media, Crusoe Osagie said the All Progressives Congress, APC candidate’s lifestyle as a student and past government official would not inspire the good example he spoke of.

He said:

“I watched with dismay, a video that has the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 19 gubernatorial election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, flaunting a document he christened Simple Agenda.

“One of the planks of the so-called agenda is a promise to lead Edo people by example if elected as governor of the state.

“His performance in government, as Secretary to the State Government and Chief of Staff, is dotted with stories that no one wants to associate with.

“Edo State parades some of the best and brightest persons in virtually every sector, and one of our best is clearly, Governor Godwin Obaseki.

“Edo people take exception to the APC candidate’s wishful thinking that we will ignore the compelling evidence about his character, which we are all familiar with, and embark on a voyage to jail with him.

“It is even ridiculous, to say the least, that he would describe governance in the 21st century as simple, given the myriad of socio-economic challenges facing nations of the world today, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, ravaging even developed economies.

“A manifesto, such as that of Ize-Iyamu, that does not provide for a post-COVID-19 economy is outdated, behind our state’s current realities and should be in the dustbin.”
