BREAKING: 18 APC LGA chairmen reject Ize-Iyamu as Candidate, attack Oshiomhole
May 29, 2020
18 local government chairmen in Edo state have rejected Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the consensus candidate of the party in the upcoming gubernatorial elections, POLITICS NIGERIA has learned.
In a statement on Friday, the local government chairmen described reports that Pastor Ize-Iyamu was the consensus candidate of the party as ‘False’ adding that he was not a member of the party.
“The purported agreement to return Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as a consensus candidate of APC in Edo State is totally false and without foundation. Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is not a member of our Party. He led his followers out of the APC in 2014 and even contested the governorship election on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2016 election, which he lost.”
“The purported waiver granted to him by the National Working Committee of the Party is ultra vires, null and void, as Article 31 of the Party Constitution confers that power on the National Executive Committee of the Party. Besides, the conditions for waiver prescribed by the Party Constitution have not been met.”
They also called on the President Muhammadu Buhari to call the national chairman of the party and Ex-Edo governor, Adams Oshiomole to order. They accused Oshiomole of creating ‘parallel organs’ of the party which is in direct violation of its constitution.
