Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the People’s Democratic Party has received a boost ahead of the September 28 governorship polls in Edo State. This came in form of an endorsement from a socio-cultural group, Nedoghama Nedo.

‎The group, comprising chiefs from the palace of the Oba of Benin, traditional priests, business owners and professionals, announced the endorsement after a meeting in Benin, the state capital.‎

The Eson of Benin Kingdom and one of the leaders of the group, Chief Amos Osunbor, explained that, having assessed Ize-Iyamu and his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress, Godwin Obaseki, members of the group were convinced that the PDP candidate had the capacity to take the state to the level desired by its citizens.

Osunbor said, “We have painstakingly assessed the two candidates (Obaseki and Ize-Iyamu) and we have found that Ize-Iyamu is the man for the job.”

In his response, Ize-Iyamu promised to live up to the expectations of the citizens, who he said were committed to effecting a change in government on September 28.

This shows how fake PDP can be "bookspen" and none of elders was quoted except Osunbor. I believe APC will win, we can't go back to those days of looting. Iyamu is more or less a puppet for the PDP.

Icecomrade:
Endorsement or not.

It's still Edo citizens & residents that will go to the pool come election day, to choose who will govern them.

I really Wish APC loss Edo state, so another government can have an opportunity to probe Oshimole. He has made too much on corruption. Let's be sure he it clean.

If APC continue, the next person will be come in to cover up the out going.
