Edo Decides 2020:  PDP Mocks Ize-Iyamu, Tells Him To Hold Os

The Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP)has mocked the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Osagie Ize-Iyamu over his failure to hold t g fi of his Governorship election campaign which was initially billed to hold on Wednesday, September 16.

Mocking Ize-Iyamu and the APC in a press release on Thursday, Kola Ologbondiyan the spokesperson of PDP said the failed campaign final of the party was an indication that it will be defeated at the governorship poll.

According to Ologbondiyan, the APC has been overwhelmed by the growing popularity of Obaseki across the state.

“They have been weighed down and completely overwhelmed by the soaring popularity of Governor Godwin Obaseki across the state and had no option other than to abandon their campaign.

“We have been made aware that the APC campaign also collapsed under the weight of a bitter division within their ranks over alleged apprehensions of Ize-Iyamu’s possible disqualification due to unresolved legal issues surrounding his nomination; a development for which very influential APC leaders in Edo state, as well as APC governors, abandoned the campaign.

“Also, the final effort to lift Ize-Iyamu’s campaign with an underhand measure of hiding under the Micro Enterprise Enhancement Scheme (MEES) to attempt to buy the conscience of voters fell flat as the people of Edo state were quick to see through the plot.

“Also, the campaign became frustrated as governors elected on the platform of APC distanced themselves from Ize-Iyamu campaign on the face of a near global sanctions on those undermining the nation’s electoral process.”

Further asking Ize-Iyamu to withdraw from the Governorship race, the statement by Ologbondiyan read: 

“We believe Ize-Iyami should take the next bold step and withdraw from the election.

“Furthermore, our doors are open to our compatriots in the APC who have indicated their resolve to support Governor Obaseki following the collapse of the APC campaign.”

Also, the PDP spokesperson asked Ize-Iyamu to blame his political godfather Adams Oshiomhole, who he says is responsible for his political woes.

AllNews had earlier reported that APC had forecasted that the Governorship election will be a bloody one.

According to APC, Obaseki is currently importing thugs from neighboring Delta state ahead of the governorship poll.
