Olusegun Bamgbose, the National Coordinator, Concerned Advocates for Good Governance, CAGG, has told the sacked National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, to start packing his luggage to leave Edo State, should the incumbent Governor of the State and Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the September election, Godwin Obaseki, win the Governorship election, Page 36 learnt.
He noted that the election will go down in history, as the toughest one in the entire history of Edo State, considering the big guns and big wigs involved.
Acknowledging that Oshiomhole and some other bigwigs in the APC will do everything within their power to win the election, the Lagos-based Lawyer noted that it would spell doom for Oshiomhole, if Ize-Iyamu fails to win.
His words: “This is one election that Oshiomhole will not want to lose. It is a do or die affair for him. It is an election that will either make him or mar him for life.
“His (Oshiomhole) political career is attached to this volatile election. If he ‘loses’, it will mark the end of his political dynasty. Oshiomhole will certainly not take things for granted.
“Tinubu equally will do anything possible for Obaseki to lose to Pastor Ize-Iyamu. The Edo election is no doubt a litmus test for Tinubu’s Presidential ambition.
“If the APC Governorship Candidate loses, his Presidential ambition will be jeopardised. On the other hand, Obaseki will not for any reason want to lose the election, as incumbent Governor.
“He will be ready to do anything within his political capacity to put Oshiomhole to big shame. The truth of the matter is that the Edo election is between Obaseki and Oshiomhole.
“However, if Ize-Iyamu loses to Obaseki, Oshiomhole should get prepared to relocate from Edo State, immediately.
“Edo will be hell to him, if Ize-Iyamu loses to Obaseki. The die is cast. The battle line is drawn. Who will win is no doubt a one million naira question.”
