The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC, Candidate for the Edo State Governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is not a match for any of its Aspirants for the State Governorship election, Page 36 learnt.
The PDP claimed that Pastor Ize-Iyamu emerged as the APC Candidate through the crudest Governorship primary election ever, in the history of Nigeria.
A statement by the PDP National Spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said that the people of Edo State had written off the APC, and “turned the party into a butt of street joke, as well as a new metaphor for disdain for the people”.
The now ruling party in Edo State, maintained that failure awaits the APC during the upcoming Governorship election in the State.
His words: “Already, on the streets of Edo State, Ize-Iyamu has become the new lexicon for APC’s crude attempt to suppress and lord it over the people of Edo State.
“From all indications, only failure awaits the APC in the September election. This is because, going by the figures announced from the direct primary, which the APC conducted to produce Ize-Iyamu, it is clear that the totality of the members of the APC in Edo, is far below 40,000, in a State where the membership and support base of the PDP, soar well above 3 million.”
