Former National Chairman, All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has apologised to the people of Edo State for giving his support to Governor Godwin Obaseki in his emergence as the state governor in 2016.
He, however, said his mission for now would be to ensure the governor’s defeat in the governorship election scheduled for September 19.
Oshiomhole, while addressing a crowd that gathered to welcome him at his Iyamho country home, said:
“I have made a mistake by supporting a man who has no vision for my people. So, I want to correct my mistakes by making sure a servant of God, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is elected as governor and kick the snake out of the government house.
“From now till September 19, I am here in Edo State because a political lion that I am, I am not scared of anything.”
According to the former Governor of Edo State, Ize-Iyamu is not a stranger to Edo politics, Oshiomhole stated:
“He campaigned for me in 2012 and I won all the 18 local government areas of Edo State. He knows the roots unlike the current governor, who just became governor and does not know the efforts people made to make him governor. We will kick out this MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) governor and replace him with a pastor who will sweep out the Coronavirus party by the grace of God.”
