Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has congratulated Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki over supreme court ruling.
Gatekeepers News reports that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state during the September 19, 2020 governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has congratulated Governor Godwin Obaseki on his recent victory at the Supreme Court.
Ize-Iyamu noted that the judgement has equally put to rest all litigations concerning the governorship election.
In a congratulation letter to Obaseki, the APC candidate also appealed to him to initiate an out-of-court settlement for the 14 elected state house of assembly members who are yet to be inaugurated 23 months after they were elected.
He also called on to Obaseki to consider paying the entitlements of elected local government council chairmen, vice-chairmen, elected councilors, and supervisory councilors who were removed from office before the election.
Ize-Iyamu said:
“For the records, Your Excellency, your supporters had instituted thirteen (13) different pre-election cases against my deputy and I; all seeking to disqualify us from participating in the election. On our part, our party, the APC had only one case against Your Excellency and your party.
“We also deliberately did not go to the Elections Tribunal, not because we did not have issues but because we felt it was better to allow you face the job at hand, moreso as our party at the National level had congratulated you.
“We are happy that all these cases have come to an end. Now that it is all over, please accept my congratulations.
He reminded the Governor that for him and members of the APC, as the opposition party in the state, it was their duty to ensure that his government did the right thing all times.
