On Saturday the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has accused the state Governor, Godwin Obaseki of paying off his way to emerge as the party’s flag bearer in the forthcoming poll.
Ize-Iyamu alleged that Obaseki expended N15 billion to emerge as PDP governorship candidate.
He made the allegation in a statement signed and sent to DAILY POST by John Mayaki, his campaign Director of Communications.
The APC governorship candidate accused the state governor to explain to people of the state how he came about such a huge fund.
He also expressed sanguinity that he would defeat Obaseki at the poll on September 19.
“He is also yet to explain to the people of Edo State where he got the 15 billion Naira he paid the PDP tax-collectors to facilitate his imposition as the party’s emergency-hour candidate.”
“It is no surprise, given the nature of Obaseki’s administration and sharp practices of both governor and appointees that such an agency is missing in Edo State.”
Obaseki had emerged as PDP’s governorship candidate in Edo State after all aspirants stepped down for him.
