Seven governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State have stepped down for Osagie Ize-Iyamu..
Mr Ize-Iyamu, a few hours ago, picked his governorship nomination forms at the APC national secretariat, Abuja.
A source within the APC in the state told PREMIUM TIMES that the seven candidates held a meeting on Tuesday where they took a decision to not only step down for Mr Ize-Iyamu, but to contribute money to buy the nomination forms for him. Mr Ize-Iyamu, a former secretary to the Edo State government, was a chieftain of the APC before he left the party for the Peoples Democratic Party after he failed to secure Mr Oshiomhole’s support for his governorship ambition. He contested the 2016 Edo state governorship election as a PDP candidate and was defeated by Mr Obaseki of the APC.
