Edo people 'll re-elect me in view of my impressive performance -Obaseki

By Bisi Olaniyi,
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, on Saturday challenged Governor Godwin Obaseki to tell the public the whereabouts of his commissioner who remains in detention overseas, following his arrest last year in France for alleged money laundering.

Ize-Iyamu also described as irresponsible Obaseki‘s decision to erect a digital billboard in the centre of Benin to continuously play the video of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano with a view to portraying him in bad light.

The Director of Communication and Media of the Ize-Iyamu Campaign Organisation, Prince John Mayaki, said in a statement that it was hypocritical for Obaseki to embark on cheap blackmail when he could not account for his arrested and detained commissioner.

He said: “It is obvious to everyone in Edo State and beyond now that the outgoing governor of Edo State (Obaseki) and his party of tax collectors have no record or achievements to campaign with.

“Otherwise, instead of wasting public fund on a lazy, indecorous and irresponsible attempt to smear the reputation of Kano governor, they would have seized the fraudulently-obtained opportunity of a digital billboard at the heart of the state’s capital to show the people of Edo State consequential matters like their achievements in office.

“It is nothing but hypocrisy and a lack of awareness, two traits that contributed to the failure of the Obaseki’s administration, for the governor to sanction such an irresponsible move when his own commissioner/best friend is still languishing in detention abroad, since his arrest in France.”

In a separate statement, Ize-Iyamu berated the Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate, Dr. Isaiah Osifo, accusing him of acting as Obaseki’s mouthpiece but planted in LP to regurgitate scripts handed to him by his paymaster.

He condemned Osifo’s last Thursday’s “show of shame” during a news conference in Benin, accusing him (Osifo) of engaging in smear campaign and deliberate spread of misinformation.

Reacting through his Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, however, Obaseki said Ize-Iyamu would be roundly defeated in the September 19 election.

Osagie said: “Governor Obaseki has an unwavering faith in his works and the growing support of millions of Edo people, who are the actual voters that will re-elect him for another term in office.

“Edo people have come to the full understanding of Governor Obaseki’s brand of politics, which is about the greatest good possible for the greater number of people, as against Ize-Iyamu’s retrogressive politics of converting public wealth to his personal property.

“Edo State under Governor Obaseki has since shaken off the last vestiges of bad governance which Ize-Iyamu is notorious for, and our people are determined, more than ever, to sustain the progress we have so far witnessed with their votes.

“With Obaseki, trust, accountability to the people, integrity, our common dignity are the driving forces. These qualities have been demonstrated over and over again in the last three years and seven months, and a renewed four-year mandate from Edo people will turbo-charge us to deliver more dividends of democracy.

In the mind of Ize Iyamu, Gandollar now has reputation to protect?
This Ganduje Bariga dollar video dey pain dem niii.
Obaseki should please tell EBS TV to continue airing that video where Oshiobaba was singing
You are a loser
700 million, you are a loser
Ize Iyamu, you are a loser
EFCC is waiting for you.

When is Pastor Ize Iyamu #700m corruption case adjourn again. I have forgotten.

I hope the digital billboard is acid proof, this cultist is a specialist in acid attacks!

Edo people be wise

Obaseki's government is a corrupt government

He has spent all Edo money

No recruitment

No development

Na godfather him be

Na Oshiomole he use his first tenure dey insult...dont vote Obaseki and be running to Libya, Italy etc

Not necessary u vote Iyamu but there are better contestants.

A government after almost 4years cannot campaign on its performance should tell Edo people it is a failure.
Comrade campaigned for reelection with one man one vote mantra side by side his infrastructural and economic strides.
Obaseki should campaign on its records. A govt that has borrowed over $100m in 3years with no visible projects. Is evil. Whether he likes it or not Edo people will score him on ground not on social media.

Pastor Weaver has forgotten his calling

Iyanmiri are coming to blame Tinubu as usual

All these guys should just STOP these nonsense! Both of them are criminals but, the gullible citizens would still choose sides.

It's NOT about public spats or digging up sh!t about each other... it's about the lives of millions of innocent, hopeless, helpless and poor citizens of your state. Of course, it's not like they both care about these gullible citizens.

Again, STOP all these stupidity... IDIOTS!!!

Pastor, pls Explain why Gandollar has so many pockets in a Single Babaringa

This Ize-Iyamu sounds too desperate and frustrated
Meanwhile Edo no be Lagos and all South South states are now freeee from Fulani agenda and it will remain like that forever and ever

You dey your Yoruba State dey form auditing for Edo State treasury. Oga channel this your energy to Ondo election.

Eze Iyamu is cultist, don't hand over the destiny of Edo state to such a man.

It's really funny how Ize iyamu manages to muster the moral confidence to side with Gandollar.

Which church does he pastor?

How does he feel siding with Oshiomole that outrightly called him a thief?

This life sha...

God will be smiling from above and shaking his head.

Ize yam yam thief’s desperation for power is becoming something else. So the broad daylight extortionist gandollars caught on tape collecting money now has a reputation?? Oh I forgot, birds of the same feather flock together. This fake pastor should go and face his efcc corruption case of N700M cos Edo indigenes have roundly rejected him.

No b by force to have thief cultist fake pastor Ize yam yam thief as governor. Obaseki and Philip Shaibu are the people’s choice.

Na una sabi edo people sha know who to vote for ..after voting defend your vote

Edo is back to PDP.

Ize It's my, if you want to campaign, campaign. Trying to defend Ganduje is a wrong move. That video did not lie, did it? Just sell yourself and stop wasting time to launder the image of Ganduje. He is smeared beyond redemption. All the hypos in the world cannot wash him clean.

Gbam

it's like this gandollar video really pained APC ooo why don't you wait till obaseki start playing OSIHOMOLE video where he was praising your boss for being a thief before you start crying?

Say no to 3 credit Gov
