EDO State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday gave reasons why the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is not in his administration.
Oshiomhole said he didn’t trust Pastor Ize-Iyamu because of the roles he played in the administration of Lucky Igbinedion. The governor said he gave appointments to people he trusted. “I didn’t want to spend time watching Ize-Iyamu’s files,” he stated.
Oshiomhole, who spoke at the All Progressive Congress, APC, campaign rally in Oredo local government area of the state, said he opted to “keep Ize-Iyamu busy by holding night meetings and saying all the lies.”
The governor said the PDP governorship candidate begged him to be made the Director-General of his campaign organisation in 2012 after he refused to drop Dr. Pius Odubu as his running mate. “I never gave Pastor Ize-Iyamu government job. I gave jobs to those I trusted. Pastor Ize-Iyamu would have done to me what he did to Lucky Igbinedion.
“It was because we kept him away from government that we were able to succeed and deliver on electoral promises. I didn’t allow him access to public fund. Edo cannot go back to what it was before. I laughed when he said he made me governor. G and check the record, on Election Day, Ize-Iyamu did not as he was hiding from the EFCC. I have made my name and I worked hard for the Nigerian workers. We are not tied to anybody’s apron,” he added. – The Nation
