Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the September 19 Edo State governorship election, said last night that President Muhammadu Buhari is well-aware of the vicious, attacks on innocent people and their reputation by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is not bothered by the ongoing attempt by the party to use the alleged N700 million fraud before the court to blackmail him,
The APC governorship hopeful stated this while reacting to a statement by PDP’s agents in a letter to Buhari, pleading with him not to meet with Pastor Ize-Iyamu, over an alleged corruption he is currently facing at Federal High Court in Edo State.
“Although these faceless persons claim to write on behalf of Edo people at home and in the diaspora, the mendacious claim is exposed by the deluge of endorsements received daily by Pastor Osagie Ize- Iyamu from the people of Edo State across the world, including prominent members of Mr. Godwin Obaseki’s government and family, who are resigning in numbers never seen before, because they are convinced of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu’s integrity, competence, and documented manifesto to move Edo State forward.
“We are confident that Mr. President is well-aware of the vicious, unprincipled, and mindless attacks on innocent people and their reputation by the PDP, having been a victim of their flexible principles and morality himself.”
