The APC Candidate for the 2020 Edo Governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has congratulated Governor Godwin Obaseki following the Supreme Court judgment delivered on Friday.
Ize-Iyamu recalled “your supporters had instituted thirteen (13) different pre-election cases against my deputy and I; all seeking to disqualify us from participating in the election. On our part, our party, the APC had only one case against Your Excellency and your party. We also deliberately did not go to the
Elections Tribunal, not because we did no have issues but because we felt it was better to allow you face the job at hand, moreso as our party at the National level had congratulated you.
We are happy that all these cases have come to an end. Now that it is all over, please accept my congratulations“.
The APC Governorship Candidate then appealed to Governor Obaseki to consider the pertinent issues of the 14 constituencies which included two from the Governor’s Local Government, Oredo, and another two from the Deputy Governor’s Local Government to Etsako West.
Ize-Iyamu stated that though the matter is pending in Court, Obaseki is in a vantage position to consider an out-of- court settlement of the issue, in the overall interest of the state.
Pastor Ize-Iyamu also canvassed the need for the Governor’s intervention in the issue of elected Local
Government Chairmen, Vice-chairmen, Councilors and Supervisory Councillors who were suspended and removed from office.
According to him, APC, as the opposition party in the state, will ensure that the present administratin does the right thing always.
