Return to APC,Eze-Iyamu tells Obaseki

APC candidate for Edo governorship election, Mr Osagie Eze-Iyamu, has called on the incumbent governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki, to return to APC.

Eze-Iyamu made the appeal on Monday in Benin while addressing newsmen shortly after his emergence as the candidate of the party.⁣

In the party’s primaries conducted across the 18 local government areas of the state, Eze-Iyamu defeated two other aspirants to clinch the APC ticket.⁣

He scored 27,838 votes to beat the state’s former deputy governor, Dr Pius Odubu, and Mr Osaro Obaze, who scored 3,776 and 2,324 votes respectively to emerge second and third in the primaries.⁣

Eze-Iyamu said he deemed it necessary to appeal to the governor to retrace his step to avoid a similar mistake he made when he left APC for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2014.⁣

While commending the two other aspirants in the primaries, he said he would unite the party.
