From Ighomuaye Lucky, Benin
The governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, yesterday, charged the people of Ikpoba-Okha local government area to ensure that they deliver the entire 10 wards in the local governments area to enable him emerge the governor of the state come September 19.
He gave the charge during a flag off campaign rally in his honour at Ikpoba-Okha local government area of the state.
Ize-Iyamu said with their turn out at the rally if put into use come September 19, it would automatically send Godwin Obaseki out of government.
Pastor Ize-Iyamu said the people of Ikpoba-Okha has not felt the impact of good governance since Obaseki assumed the position of governor of the state noting that all promises made to them were not kept and so, he should be shown the way out of government with their voter cards in the forthcoming election.
The governorship candidate of APC noted that the worst thing that Obaseki did to the people of the local government was when he opposed the nomination of one of their sons, Victor Ekhator as member of the Niger Delta Development Commission, (NDDC) representing Orhionmwon and even when the Oba of Benin, Ewuare II has written a thank you letter to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointing him as a member of the commission.
Speaking also, the immediate past governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole noted that though he has made mistake in the past by campaigning and supporting Godwin Obaseki to become the governor of the state, said that he is here to correct his mistake by ensuring that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu becomes the governor of the state.
He encouraged them to support their son by voting Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Earlier, the leader of the all progressive Congress in Ikpoba Hon. Osarobo Idahosa said they are ready to deliver the 10 wards of Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area for the party in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
