Godwin Obaseki, the Governor of Edo State, has insisted he is not afraid of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Godwin Obaseki stated this while making an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
Pastor Ize-Iyamu contested the last governorship election under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), before defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Pastor Ize-Iyamu will now go up against Obaseki for APC’s ticket in the September 19 poll.
But Governor Godwin Obaseki insists he has no reason to be scared of Ize-Iyamu.
“Why should I be? The last time I contested, he (Ize-Iyamu) was my opponent from the PDP and the votes are there.
“I beat him (when I had no track record as a governor) and now with the track record as a governor, I don’t have any fears,” Obaseki said.
