The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Edo gubernatorial election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been lying about its support for its candidate, Godwin Obaseki.
He said the same PDP that dragged Obaseki to court over his alleged dubious certificate and once tagged his government a complete failure was the same now presenting him for office.
In a statement signed by Mr. John Mayaki, the Director of Communication and Media, of his Campaign Organisation, the APC candidate added that the PDP’s decision to field Obaseki showed serious lack of tact.
According to him, PDP has no strategy for winning the September 19 election and has therefore resorted to excuses.
Ize-Iyamu urged the people of Edo not to justify PDP’s lack of judgement by voting Obaseki for a second term.

“The same PDP dragged Obaseki before a judge, pointing out the inconsistencies in his academic records, seeking judicial order to stop him from assessing the government corridors.
“Today, the PDP says Obaseki has initiated programs and policies in Edo State when only a few weeks ago, before their tax collectors were settled, the party branded the embattled Governor a complete failure who reversed the growth and development of Edo State.
“The naked truth is that the PDP has neither plan nor strategy for winning this election or to lead Edo state. They therefore resort to the only one thing that works for failures: excuses and mudslinging.
“Although yet subtle, what PDP is doing is simply the use of an opponents’ negative publicity to show its lack of content, vision, ideas, and as a shield for the internal wrangling ongoing in the party.
“It is a shame that this party that brought out Aliko Dangote from his trademark political non-alignment and characteristic silence still has the audacity to make national statements that still border on falsehood and deception.”
