U-TURN: ‘Am Loyal Sir’ – Bob Izua Begs Obaseki, Rejoins APC

An Oredo leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief John Osamede Adun, also known as Bob Izua, has appealed to Governor Godwin Obaseki, to forget the political misunderstanding between the two of them, saying he was fully prepared to return to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he dumped last year.
The Benin chief who paid a scheduled visit to Governor Obaseki at the State House in Benin City, said he was now ready to rejoin the APC which he described as his “house” and pledged his unalloyed loyalty to the governor.
Chief Adun, however hailed the performance Governor Obaseki since assuming office, noting that the governor’s focus on infrastructure and development-oriented projects was laudable and admirable.
Adun, who is also the Managing Director of Bob-Izua Motors, stressed that Governor Godwin Obaseki deserves all the support he needs to continue the good work of developing the state.
He endorsed Governor Obaseki for a second term in office based on the governor’s stellar achievement in the last two and the half years, noting that the reforms in different sectors of the state and the peoples’ acknowledgement of the governor’s effort was a sign of good things to come.
Responding to questions on the prospect of returning to the ruling party, Adun said, “You can fly away and fly back. It is my house, and there is no problem in returning to your house. APC is my house. I went to PDP before, but I have come back to my house.
“I decided to come here today to appreciate him for the work he is doing in the state. I was not forced by anybody to come here. I, Chief Osamede Adun, endorse him for second term.”
Noting that the state governor has given a good account of himself so far, he urged all right-thinking, development-focused residents in the state to throw their weight behind the governor for the continuation of his praiseworthy strides.”
Chief Adun’s stance also swells the rank of leaders of opposition parties who are lining behind the governor in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections slated for next year.
Notable among them are the Esama of Benin, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion and former Minister of External Affairs under the regime of Military Head of State, late General Sani Abacha, Chief Tom Ikimi.
