Ize-Iyamu drags PDP leaders over choice of Obaseki
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has slammed leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for lacking a sense of shame over their choice of APC reject Godwin Obaseki as the governorship candidate.
Ize-Iyamu said it was shameful for PDP leaders to field Godwin Obaseki as its standard-bearer despite earlier condemning him as a non-achiever as the Edo governor.
In a statement by Prince John Mayaki, director of Communication and Media, Ize-Iyamu, recalled that the PDP had painted Obaseki as a failure, who deceived the courts and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with counterfeit credentials.
He said it was strange that the same party is now singing Obaseki’s praise, claiming he is the almighty, the saint and the blameless.
“The same PDP dragged Obaseki before a judge, pointing out the inconsistencies in his academic records, seeking judicial order to stop him from accessing the government corridors.
“Today, the PDP says Obaseki has initiated programmes and policies in Edo State, when only a few weeks ago, before their tax collectors were settled, the party branded the embattled Edo governor a complete failure, who reversed the growth and development of Edo State.
“The truth is that the PDP has neither plan nor strategy for winning the election or to lead Edo State. They, therefore, resort to the things that work for failures: excuses and mudslinging.
“Although yet subtle, what PDP is doing is simply the use of an opponents’ negative publicity to show its lack of content, vision, ideas and as a shield for the internal wrangling ongoing in the party.”
The APC governorship candidate said it was a shame that the PDP, which brought out Aliko Dangote from his trademark political non-alignment and characteristic silence, still had the audacity to make national statements that bordered on falsehood and deception.
Although 14 parties are participating in the September 19 election in Edo State, political pundits believe that the real battle will be between Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu.
Ize-Iyamu was the 2016 governorship candidate of the PDP, who last December defected to the APC and was on May 21 granted waiver to contest by members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.

In any electoral contest, the opponents should be going to the electorates to tell them what they will do differently from the incumbent current Governor and his performances if elected. Ize Iyamu and his Campaign team led by his Excellency Governor Umar Ganduje Dollar and Suspended APC National Chairman Oshiomole has not BEEN able to tell people of Edo State THE NEW and different things they want to do for edo people if Ize Iyamu is elected. Obaseki has been telling edo people to allow him finish the developments he started over 3 years ago. Majority of Edo people seems to have seen changes in Obaseki government from 8 years of Oshiomole government. The fact that PDP are saying Obaseki did not perform or have used defective certificate in the past election camp sin and recently shows that APC 12 years government under Oshiomole and Obaseki did not performed well. How then will APC under Ize Iyamu performed differently. It was a failure and disgrace to APC – NWC and Screening Committee under Oshiomole not to have independently go and confirmed if the certificates of Obaseki from WASC/ GCE, Unibadan, NYSC offices are genuine or fake. The APC did not do thorough investigation on this certificates because Oshiomole already told them to disqualify Obaseki at all cost, which they did.
Can someone remind this guy that the essence of campaign is to let us know what he can do differently and stop this madness of attacking people, please?
Osagie Ize-Iyamu so you are not ashamed of your past, present and your future. You are a none achiever and a looter. Your political career is ending now with shame and humiliation. Your father was known as a man who never command respect. He converted people’s land, wicked and biased to people. You claimed to be sick to permit you from attending court, you became immediately the case of N700m was adjoined. Plan what you are going to say next time. The other election I saw you crying after the result with your family. This time I am afraid what is going to happen to you after the election where you and Oshiomohle will be seriously humiliated. You are even going to be disqualified before the election, take notice. Governor Obaseki is a clean gentleman that the Edo people want.
PDP and their leaders are bunch of criminals especially the one in River State, who after stealing from Ministry of State for Education during Jonathan era and set the office ablaze, he is making noise today, which prosperity will never forgive him.
