Edo 2020: Oshiomole seeking 3rd term under Ize-Iyamu, says Shaibu

Deputy Governor of Edo State  Philip Shaibu, has accused former Governor and Immediate past National Chairman, of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, of covertly seeking a third term in office as the Governor through his ‘surrogate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.’

A statement signed by Shaibu’s special assistant on media Benjamin Atu, said Ize-Iyamu is merely a stooge of the former governor.

“The price that Oshiomhole will pay for projecting Ize-Iyamu is an outright rejection,” Shaibu declared,”

“We need a new kind of politics and policies that reflect the best value of our people. Politics that focuses on bringing people together to work for the common  good.

He said, “We have displayed determination to  end the culture of government that habitually failed to stimulate investment; provide massive employment  for the youth and failed to reduce poverty and hardship in the land,”.

He explained that “Edo people have a choice to choose between policies of the heart by Governor Godwin Obaseki and policies of the head as currently been propagated by enemies of the State.
