He said, “This form represents the buy-in- and acceptability of majority of Edo people both at home and in diaspora, who tasked themselves to ensure that their mandate is secured in the candidature of
Godwin Obaseki, for September 19, 2020 governorship election in Edo State.”
In response to the assertion by Ize-Iyamu that he was adopted as the consensus candidate of a group of aspirants who were with him in Abuja, Obaseki’s Director of Media and Strategy, Crusoe Osagie, in a statement said, the candidate of the party will emerge in Benin, the state capital and not Abuja. Osagie said, “It is, therefore, hilarious to hear that a so-called consensus candidate for the party in Edo State governorship election was selected in Abuja. It is not surprising that the charade was hatched and actuated by Oshiomhole and members of his Edo Peoples Movement, a proscribed dissident group in the state.
