PASTOR Osagie Ize-Iyamu Compaign Organisation, has described as untrue, the allegation by the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state was conniving with Delta State, governor, Ifeanyi Arthor Okowa, in recruiting 40 political thugs who would be registered as voters in the border areas of Edo State and used as agents of destruction, destabilisation and rigging in the September 10, 2016 election.
A statement by the Ize-Iyamu Campaign organisation noted, “in rather acerbic language, the APC-controlled state government accused the Edo State People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in their pattern of crying wolf where none existed, the press statement averred that, “We wish to place the security agencies on notice of these untoward intention of the neighbouring state government with their Edo PDP collaborators to cause a breach of security in Edo State.”
Since the emergence of Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu as the governorship candidate of the PDP in Edo State, the statement said, “the APC and its leader have seen the clear writing of victory on the wall and are bent on doing everything imaginable to whip up undue sentiments against the PDP and its wave-making governorship candidate.
