Candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), in the September 19 governorship election in Edo State, Pastor
Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has said that Governor Godwin Obaseki is heading for a
disgraceful end, with the avalanche of defection hitting his camp.
Ize-Iyamu stated this on Monday
in Benin, while receiving the Deputy Speaker of the State House of Assembly,
Mr. Yekini Idiaye, who reportedly dumped Obaseki and pledged loyalty to the APC
candidate.
Addressing the lawmaker,
Ize-Iyamu lamented what he called “disgraceful end to which Obaseki’s regime
which claims popular support, has come, with the daily abandonment of his
government by civil commissioners, chairmen of Boards and appointees.”
He described the alleged
inaugurating five out of 24 elected APC members as legislators in Edo Assembly
at 9.45 pm, by Governor Obaseki as lamentable and an assault on democracy,
which he said had deprived over 50 percent of Edo people of representation in
the legislature.
The APC candidate commended the
lawmaker and others who had previously pledged their loyalty, for their
steadfastness in choosing to remain in the APC on which platform they got
elected.
He assured them that his
Manifesto of Hope, Simple Agenda will be implemented to the letter in every
part of the state when he gets elected.
Responding, Idiaye, said: “I was
elected on the platform of the APC and I have made it clear and I have told the
whole world that I started my political career on the APC and I have no reason
to defect to any political party.”
