Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, defeated governorship candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Edo State was in Abuja on Wednesday
where he held ‘closed door’ meeting with leadership of the party.
Ize-Iyamu met with Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, who
also is the Chairman of the Caretaker Committee of the APC.
At the meeting also was the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya
Bello. The meeting was the first outing for Ize-Iyamu since he was defeated at
last Saturday’s governorship election by Governor Godwin Obaseki, who got a
second term.
The National APC had congratulated Obaseki over the victory
while the Edo State APC refused to congratulate the governor-elect, rejecting
the outcome of the poll.
It is believed that Ize-Iyamu might have been persuaded at
the meeting to concede defeat to Obaseki and allowed peace to reign.
Ize-Iyamu had said after losing the election that his
supporters endured many evils, including being prevented from voting.
He had assured them that he was studying the results along
with other party members and that he would announce his next move soon.
‘I thank and appreciate my supporters, who had to endure
many evils including being prevented from voting, for their support and
determination during the election.
“I assure you all
that I am studying the results along with other party members and will announce
my next move soon,” he said.
