Governor Nyesom Wike
of Rivers State has said the people of Edo State can’t be deceived by Adams
Oshiomhole, former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Wike spoke while
accusing Oshiomhole of insulting the people of Edo State by asking them to vote
for APC’s governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Speaking on Channel’s
television, Wike wondered why Oshiomhole would be campaigning for Ize-Iyamu
whom he once accused of theft.
Stressing that the
former APC National Chairman lacks integrity, Wike recalled how Oshiomhole once
accused Ize-Iyamu of looting, being a fake pastor who should not be trusted
with the role of a governor.
He, however,
expressed optimism that the PDP’s governorship candidate, Godwin Obaseki would
be reelected.
According to Wike:
“Obaseki will be reelected, as the people of Edo state cannot be swayed to the
contrary by the deceptions, lies and antics of the sacked National Chairman of
the APC, Adams Oshiomhole.
Oshiomhole is displaying the highest level of
insult and disdain for the people of Edo state for asking them to accept the
APC candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, whom he had accused to be a thief, treasury
looter, fake pastor and rusticated student, who should not be trusted with the
position of the governor of Edo state.
