The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Osagie Ize-Iyamu, at the Saturday Edo Governorship poll has called on the Governor, Godwin Obaseki to return to the APC.
Recall that Obaseki was reelected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party after defecting from the APC following the disagreement with his predecessor and former National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomole.
Similarly, Ize-Iyamu had defected from the PDP to the APC in 2019.
Ize-Iyamu who made the call in a television broadcast on Wednesday, congratulated the governor while he appealed that he return to the APC.
“We are going to talk to everybody. We are going to bring everybody back. I want to salute my brother, the governor. I will like to appeal to him to return to the party. In every family, we have a disagreement” he said.
“Let it not be said that it was this disagreement that pushed him out. I made that mistake before and I have come to realize that it was a grievous error and I will not want him as a senior brother to make the same mistake.
“I will like to appeal to him to set aside his anger and come back. In APC, he is recognized as a leader and it would be difficult for him to be recognized as a leader in the new party he is going to.
