Edo PDP governorship candidate uses strong word on APC

– The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate at the Saturday, September 10 Edo state governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, used a strong word on the All Progressives Congress (APC) based on the APC’s antics towards him

– Ize-Iyamu, who decamped from the APC to the PDP, criticised the ruling party in Edo state for using diversionary moves

The man of God turned politician, whose campaign organisation, Osagie Ize-Iyamu Compaign Organisa­tion dismissed the allegations leveled against the PDP flag bearer, that he is working secretly with Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Arthor Okowa, at hiring 40 political thugs who would be registered as voters at the border areas of Edo state and will then be used as agents of destruction, de­stabilisation, electoral malpractice and violence during the September 10, 2016 governorship election.

The Campaign Organisation stated that there is no iota of truth in what the APC said.

Ize-Iyamu winner of the PDP Edo state governorship primary election of Monday, June 20, is still having some issues within his party, as the embattled factional national chairman of the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff said the PDP governorship primaries was null and void.

In a statement issued by the PDP group, it reads: “In rather acerbic language, the APC-controlled state government accused the Edo state Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in their pattern of crying wolf where none existed.

“We wish to place the security agencies on notice of these untoward intention of the neigh­bouring state government with their Edo PDP col­laborators to cause a breach of security in Edo state.

“The APC and its leader have seen the clear writing of victory on the wall and are bent on doing everything imaginable to whip up undue sentiments against the PDP and its wave-mak­ing governorship candidate.”
