Chief Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
candidate for the 2020 Governorship Election in Edo State, has urged Governor
Godwin Obaseki to intervene in the issue of the 14 lawmakers-elect who last
year were suspended and removed from office.
Ize-Iyamu said this in an open letter to Obaseki while
congratulating him on his victory at the Supreme Court on Monday.
He appealed to the Governor to consider an out-of-court
settlement of the issue in the overall interest of the state.
Ize-Iyamu said, “Though the matter is in court, you’re in a
vantage position to consider an out-of-court settlement of the issue, in the
overall interest of our state.
“I also urge the Governor to intervene in the issue of
elected Local Government Chairmen, Vice-chairmen, Councilors and Supervisory
Councillors, who were sometimes suspended and removed from office.
“Our appeal is that you consider paying them their
entitlements since it is now late for them to return to their offices. This can
also be through an out of court settlement.
“Last Friday’s judgement of the Supreme Court puts an end to
the series of litigations we had over last year’s governorship elections.
“We’re happy that all these cases have come to an end. Now
that it’s all over, please accept my congratulations.”
