Ize-lyamu Withdraws From The Edo Guber Election Primary For The APC
Mr Ize-Iyamu's exit leaves APC with 11 aspirants ahead of Saturday's governorship primaries.
Pastor Osagie Ize-lyamu, a leading candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 21 Edo state governorship race, has pulled out of the contest with less than twenty-four hours to go before the party's primary election.
He gave journalists access to a statement announcing his withdrawal on Friday, February 16.
The notice of withdrawal was sent to both Emperor Jarrett Tenebe, the acting state chairman of the party, and Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman.
The withdrawal letter's full text is as follows:
“Few months ago, after extensively interacting with family, friends, political associates, and supporters, I joined the 2024 Edo state gubernatorial race as a result of my passion and commitment to the cause of rescuing Edo state from the current condition of decrepitude.
“I entered the contest as a progressive democrat, with an open mind to keenly contest and accept the result of a process that is fair, credible and transparent. I appreciate the commended the effort made by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC to correct the erroneous impression maliciously created by certain persons that some aspirants, including myself had been disqualified from the gubernatorial contest. The NWC constituted the authentic screening committee and all twelve aspirants who purchased and completed the nomination forms were successfully screened and subsequently issued clearance certificates. This step was praise worthy and helped in restoring our integrity in the eyes of the public.
