Face-off: Edo PDP Gubernatorial Candidate Throws Mud At Oshiomhole

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gubernatorial candidate for the Edo election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has made some very damning allegations against governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state.
The gubernatorial candidate revealed how Oshiohmole became Edo governor and some more.

1.Former Governor brought in Oshiomhole because he failed
“Lucky Igbinedion recommended him to some of us that people are saying he had not done well, let him appoint a man who is popular, who appears to have popularity among the people. Let it be on record that he helped him to become governor. That was how he introduced Oshiomhole. We did it for two reasons.”
2. Oshiomhole’s part of Edo state has never produced a governor
“First was that because Edo is one and an Afenmai man has never become the governor. We felt it was time for an Afenmai man to become the governor. I also bought the story of Lucky Igbinedion that this man just left office as President of the NLC. This man will be interested in the masses, he will be interested in our pensioners, he will be interested in students. This man will excel. On that note, we supported him. He declared he had no money, we have to put all the resources together to support him.”
3. He dared Oshiomhole to make known where he got money to finance his election campaign
“When he is busying talking about Lucky Igbinedion, let Edo people know that it was Lucky Igbinedion that brought him. In 2007, I want him to tell Edo people where he got the money he spent to become governor. In case, he has forgotten, I will like to remind him that most of the money comes from Lucky Igbinedion. Since he is saying Lucky Igbinedion stole Edo State money, can he please refund the money he collected from Lucky.
4. He pointed fingers at Oshiomhole and Jonathan for rigging election
“In 2012, Oshiomhole was in ACN. I know that a governor in ACN collected money from Jonathan in 2012 to betray his party such that ACN lost in Edo.
“I did not betray my party. A governor collected money from Jonathan to betray his party and ensure his party lost in Edo. As he is talking about people refunding money, please remind him to refund the money he collected from President Jonathan. He should please refund that money.
“Let me confess that when I was his DG, he brought a lot of money for us to use for campaign, I don’t know where he got that money from. I have been told he got that money from the state government coffers. Can he please refund the money.”
