As Edo Gubernatorial election draw closer, Edo All Progressive Party (APC) crisis worsen.
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu PDP gubernatorial candidate of the last election in Edo State who decamped to APC few months ago, is set to be a rival who battle governor Godwin Obaseki, for APC gubernatorial Primary election.
The pastor in an interview with THISDAY NEWSPAPER accused Governor Godwin Obaseki of trying to get supporters by Forces.
While speaking, he said “supporters are not gotten by Forces”
The Pastor said, “If you look at the whole situation in the APC in Edo today basically, the bottom line is whether or not the governor should be allowed to go for a second term. Now, nobody can stop him from contesting if he wants to contest. But whether he will enjoy the support of the party members in the APC, will depend on his relationship with them. It is not something you get by force. It appears also that those who supported him before are not willing to support him again. But even at that, he cannot get their support by confrontation or force because it can only be achieved through dialogues, appeals and persuasions. Just like he has the right to contest, the people in the party have the right to support whoever they want to support…” Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu
