The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Saturday’s Edo governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu may after all not challenge his defeat at the polls at the election tribunal, Daily Times gathered.

This indication arose from a closed-door meeting held Wednesday afternoon at the Abuja residence of the Yobe state governor and the Chairman Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee (CENCPC) Mai Mala Buni.

At the meeting where the Edo election matter was tabled was the Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello and Pastor Ize-Iyamu.

Though the agenda of the meeting was not made public, a source close to Buni said the APC candidate was impressed upon not to seek legal redress over his and the party’s loss in the election.

Reiterating the earlier position of the leadership of the APC to accept the result of the poll, Buni, it was learned asked Ize-Iyamu to drop any planned legal action.

The party leadership had through a statement signed by Buni congratulated Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The statement titled, “Edo State Governorship Election: Victory for Democracy”, the ruling party noted the “conduct of the election and its outcome represents a victory for Nigeria’s democracy.

“The 19th September 2020, Edo State Governorship election is over, the winner has been declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the person of Mr. Godwin Obaseki, candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP). We hereby congratulate the winner of the election, the people of Edo State and all Nigerians. The peaceful conduct of the election and its outcome represent a victory for Nigeria’s democracy.”

The party joined President Muhammadu Buhari, who had on Sunday congratulated the winner of the election.

APC Governors, Buhari, Aso Rock cabal and other APC Chieftains just want to render Tinubu and Oshiomole and their supporters useless, partylesss and inconsequential ahead of 2023

Officialgarri:
Well, APC need not appeal anything as long as the point has been made.
One may ask what point I'm talking about.

Well, the point is that APC managed to pull so much weight and scared shît out of an incumbent government.
No wonder there's so much PDP sponsored jubilation in rivers state because they never expected the victory

AllTheWayUp:
APC Governors, Buhari, Aso Rock cabal and other APC Chieftains just want to render Tinubu and Oshiomole and their supporters useless, partylesss and inconsequential ahead of 2023

Edo APC has finally expelled Oshiomole on Monday and have asked the APC NWC to ratify Oshiomole expulsion from APC, which the APC NWC controlled by APC Governors will joyously ratify in the days ahead.
Ize Iyamu will be compensated with Federal appointment and he will also be tasked alongised Obaseki and other APC
chieftains in Edo state to crumble any Oshiomole influence or Political structure thats is left in Edo state.

Politicians from PDP and APC have started their realignment and chess moves ahead of 2023, and it first victim is Oshiomole, he has been taking out of the equation, Tinubu chances at the Presidency has also been depleted.
