When the rice man – the Governorship aspirant of the PDP, Mr Ken Imansuagbon– warned his party of an Ize-Iyamu political machine few weeks ago, he was merely saying that “the fear of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu” , the governorship flagbearer for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, “is the beginning of wisdom” in Edo politics, but many didn’t fully grasp the point that was being made.

With these words, Imansuangbon clearly acknowledged the steady popularity - almost cult-like following- of the tall and handsome, God-fearing Edoborn politician amongst the men, women, youths, professionals, artisans, and the masses of the state, as evidence of the growing dissatisfaction with the current State governor. And this was even before Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu emerged as the flagbearer of the APC.

The statement was also an acknowledgement that the relevance of the current state government was eroding because of its poor visibility and glaring inability to proffer solutions to increasingly pressing socio-economic and political challenges.

Mr Imansuangbon's statement also highlighted a most worrying fact; the realisation that Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu's fame, reach, tactics and strategy would make it impossible, even foolhardy, to tamper with the electoral process, coming up in Edo, September 19, 2020, as was the case in the past.

To the opposition party, PDP, and its tenants at Osadebey Avenue, Benin City, it does come as worrying evidence, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu's profile and popularity, despite all the hurdles they created and put on his path up till this moment. They have always been completely dazed and their candidate, for want of a better label, know that his initial absolute and seemingly unwavering support base has since caved in.

Whether the growing popularity of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is the result of increasing confidence in his capacity to surmount hurdles or the penchant to come out unscathed or it is his preparedness to serve with his Simple Agenda, a blueprint that sold out on Amazon with its people-focussed policies and programmes,it is a statement of fact. And it is also true that it is an indication of the people's growing disenchantment with deteriorating social conditions in Edo and the pressing security challenges, which the present state government has failed to address, headlong. So the people are eager to end the reign of an inept government which have lost all sense of decency and credibility.

This is the real threat to the present state government's unceremonious almost 4- year hold on power. It is time for the plausible alternative to the most incompetent political leadership that has ever emerged in Edo’s history. The only place fit for the head of such a government who parades dubious credentials, and choose to transfer allegiance to a lifeless party that was rejected nationally, five years ago and 13 years ago by all Edo people, is the rubbish heaps of history.


However, their dread of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu can be understood. Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is a glaring and present danger for the useless political contraption called PDP, whose dream to be back to relevance can never see reality. Edo can only move forward not backwards where the PDP belongs.

Keep on creating useless trend. Governor Obaseki victory is sure.

Ize-iyamu was beaten 4years ago and he would be beaten again. We don't do cultists in Edo government house..

OP let me summarizes Ize-Iyamu's popularity for you

Oshiomhole attacks Edo PDP guber candidate,says he’s a thief

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State says the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is desperate to become governor because he wants to get immunity from prosecution for his role in the Dasuki arms deal scandal.

He said: “According to Pastor’s statement to EFCC, he took the N700m Dasuki fund to their Leader’s house and they shared it in line with the principle of PDP which is ‘share the money’.

“Do you know why he wants to be a governor, Mr Ize-Iyamu wants to be a Governor to get immunity to protect him from prosecution. Today, we ask EFCC why is Ize-Iyamu having confessed to money collected for Defence from Fidelity Bank, having confessed to taking it for purposes other than defence and directing how he shared it, he must face the music that Dasuki and others are facing. Even their leader wrote in his handwriting that he collected N300 million from NSA.

“Do you want to hand over Edo treasury to a thief. I’m a proud Kukuruku man, not the son of a cook, but we don’t take money for Police, money meant for soldiers, money meant for Defence to secure Christians in Churches, Pastors are collecting it and sharing it to their party members."

Hope it helps ...

This trend is declare died.

Enough said!!

The thieves are gathering again. Na wa o
