The Deputy Governor of Edo State,
Philip Shaibu, has alleged that the immediate past National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, gave the State Assembly Deputy
Speaker, Yekini Idiaye N40 million to declare his support for Pastor Osagie
Ize-Iyamu.
Shaibu called on the people of
Akoko-Edo Local Government Area to demand their share of the money from their
representatives in the state House of Assembly, Idiaye and Hon. Emmanuel
Agbaje.
The Deputy Governor further
called on President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate how Oshiomhole got such
money he allegedly gave to each of the lawmakers to influence their support for
the APC.
Shaibu made the allegations when
he addressed supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lampese,
Akoko-Edo LGA.
Shaibu said, “Speaker of the EDHA
and all the Principal Officers are supporting the governor, while all those
that left demanded money which he declined because of the love and interest of
Edo people.
“Hon. Agbaje and Hon. Yekini
collected N40 million each to throw their support for Ize-Iyamu.”
He said the former Governor also
gave N5 million each to ward councilors to declare their support for Ize-Iyamu.
“I had a meeting with these
lawmakers who demanded $10,000 but I told them Obaseki is not a governor that
shares money but uses such money for the development of Edo State,” he added.
“Use your Permanent Voters Card
(PVC) to vote these corrupt leaders out of office.
“We know President Muhammadu
Buhari is fighting corruption and should call Oshiomhole and ask him where he
got such money from.”
