The Edo North Council of Imams yesterday, 4th of August, 2020 held a meeting in Auchi, Etsako West, Edo State, where they announced their total support for the APC gubernatorial candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize Iyamu and his Deputy Mallam Gani Audu.

The Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Edo State who doubles as Chairman, Muslim Support Committee, Edo Apc Campaign Council Sheikh (Prince) Suleiman Momoh in his welcome address stated the resolve of the Imams in Edo North to support the POI/GANI project.

He added that they were grateful to Allah for this Favour in the person of Mallam Gani Audu.

The Wife of the Deputy Gubernatorial Candidate, Hajia Nana Gani Audu in her remarks added that ,"my husband and I are overwhelmed with the support and prayers we are getting from the Muslim community in Edo State and that alone is a big motivation for us".

Alhaji Yakubu Musa aka Yakson also expressed readiness of the Muslims to vote the duo of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu & Mallam Gani Audu come September 19.

The Secretary of Muslim Support Committee, Edo Apc Campaign council, Comr Abdulsallam Muhammad who was also at the meeting, gave gratitude to Allah over the emergence of a Muslim Christian ticket, a project he said the Muslims have longed for since the inception of democracy in 1999. According to him, Edo state has never produced a Muslim deputy governor over the years of democracy in the state, and that this is an ample opportunity for the Muslims to actualize that goal, hence the need for the Muslims to come out en masse to support & vote their brother in faith, Mallam Gani Audu, who is not only a Muslim but a devoted Mallam.

The meeting also had in attendance, the Chairman of the Imam council, Alhaji Musa Zekeriyya, Alhaji Suleiman Ukashat and other eminent Muslim personalities in Edo North.

All these endorsements sef, make dem continue. With all these, I hope the state will allow for a free and fair election to know who was being deceived and who was truly loved.
