The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Monday, June 22, 2020, said the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in Edo State, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is no match for its aspirants.
It said figures from Monday’s APC primary indicated that the party lacked mass support in Edo, compared to the millions in the PDP.
In a statement by its spokesman Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP said: “From all indications, only failure awaits the APC in the September election.
“This is because, going by the figures announced from the direct primary, which the APC conducted to produce Ize-Iyamu, it is clear that the totality of the members of the APC in Edo is far bel.
“Moreover, the people of Edo had been openly told by Ize-Iyamu’s godfather, Adams Oshiomhole, that he is not fit to occupy the office of governor for reasons he had also put in public space.
“According to Oshiomhole, Ize-Iyamu is only good for political ‘night meetings’ and not to occupy the highest office in the state, where he will fail.
Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State said Obaseki is a blessing to the PDP.
Speaking during a solidarity visit to the governor, he said: “It is clear that he is doing a great job. I’m proud to associate with him and believe that he has come to a party where there are no restrictions.”
