Ize-Iyamu,
who emerged winner of the APC primary, said he won the election without
Oshiomhole’s presence in Edo and will do it again.
Pastor Osagie
Ize-Iyamu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the Edo State
2020 Governorship Election, said he does not need a godfather to win the
election.
Ize-Iyamu
stated this on Monday during an interview on Politics Today, a programme on
Channels TV.
When asked if
he had the blessings of the suspended National Chairman of the APC, Adams
Oshiomhole, and what was his relationship with him.
He said, “The
only godfather I have is God. I am sure that is obvious to you. Adams
Oshiomhole is the national chairman of the party and I have immense respect for
him. And there are other leaders. Adams Oshiomhole was not in Edo today and yet
I won the 18 local governments. We have mutual respect for each other and I
will not disrespect him because anybody wants to insult him.
“All I want
to let you know is that I am well grounded in Edo. People know me; I have lived
there all my life and they believe in me. And they want somebody that understands
their problems and is able to solve them. I am sincere, focused and I have a
clear-cut agenda of what I want to do.
“That is why
I am standing and I believe on the basis that I will win the election
overwhelmingly. I don’t need any godfather to win.”
