The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate in the September 28, 2016 Governorship election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has disclosed that his former party (PDP) leaders celebrated when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declared his opponent in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Godwin Obaseki, as winner of the election.
He also alleged that notable leaders leaders of the party collected undisclosed sum of money to trade away his mandate before going to sleep on that fateful day of the election.
According to him, “They merry when I lost that election. They collect money and go to sleep and the following day address a press Conference that PDP will do this and do that. A political party that has no winning history.
“…but when you are with people who throw party and merry when his political party looses an election, then you should know that you are in for trouble.”
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu was a founding member of the “Grace Group”, a Political pressure group within the PDP that metamorphosed into the defunct Action Congress (AC) which later became Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).
Addressing his political associates shortly after returning from Abuja where he was said to have perfected his return to the APC, at the Weekend in Benin City, described Edo PDP as unserviceable vehicle managed by leaders who have no history of winning an election in the State.
Ize-Iyamu who promised to announce his next political move as soon as he completes his nationwide consultation with his political associates who sent him on an errand, emphasised that the hallmark of politicking is to get power and use it for the good of the people.
“In the next few days, we will meet, discuss and call a larger meeting and announced our political direction”, he said.
