A chieftain of the Edo chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu has urged the Edo citizens to forgive him
for bringing Governor Adams Oshiomhole to the fore-front of the
Edo governorship election in 2007 under the Action Congress of Nigeria,
ACN umbrella.
This is coming as former Executive Director (Community
Development), Mr. Faustine Ovienroba, defected to the PDP just 24 hours
after he was fired by the governor.
He had revealed his reason for defection, citing non-construction of the road leading to his community as well as the erosion menace in the area as promised by the state government when he had earlier left the PDP for the APC, as reasons for returning to the PDP.
Pastor Ize-Iyamu however said that his apology was necessary because the governor had turned truth upside town

He said: “Edo people should forgive me for being one of
those in the forefront that brought Mr. Oshiomhole to be the governor of
the state. We now know who he is. Therefore, in the coming elections,
Edo people should not repeat the mistake of the past.
“When I remember how we brought in Oshiomhole to contest the 2007 governorship election, I weep because we brought in a bad thing.”
Edo PDP chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, while receiving Ovienroba and his supporters and accused the current governor of misappropriation of funds, spending the sum of N11.6 million to “buy drinks” for Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and wondered how Buhari, who is a Muslim, would be bought alcohol.
