Olusegun Bamgbose, National
Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has told the
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Saturday’s governorship
election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to blame the National Leader of
the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for his loss to the incumbent Governor, Godwin
Obaseki.
According to Bamgbose, the Edo
governorship election has brought a new development in the country’s electoral
process, renewing the hope of Nigerians for a free and fair election come 2023.
The senior lawyer pointed out,
however, that the overbearing influence of the duo of the former National
Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole and Tinubu never helped matters.
“Oshiomhole elevated his personal
interest, more than the party interest. He never knew that a bird in hand is
worth 2 in the bush. It is evident, that he must have thought what happened in
Lagos, as per Ambode, may repeat itself in Edo. He got it all wrong,” Bamgbose
said in a chat with Dailypost on Tuesday.
“Tinubu won’t have been able to
do to Fashola what he did to Ambode. Fashola clearly made it clear to Tinubu
then, that with or without him, he will win second term, Tinubu became jittery
and had to anoint him.
“The truth of the matter is that, as at the
time of bringing Ize-Iyamu on board, APC have cleverly isolated Oshiomhole and
Tinubu. Buhari ordinarily would have waded in and save Obaseki, but Tinubu’s
body language discouraged him.
“Buhari has been trying to avoid
a clash with him. Ize-Iyamu should therefore blame his electoral woes and
misfortunes, on the isolated duo, Oshiomhole and Tinubu, OAT.
“Like I once said, that Edo
Election is a litmus test for Tinubu’s presidential ambition, Edo people have
clearly rejected Tinubu.
“This is sad. Ize-Iyamu should go
back to the drawing table. There is still hope that he may one day be Governor
of Edo State,” he said.
