As the primary elections for the governorship race of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) draws near, an aspirant, Hon. Osaro Obazee bows out and endorses fellow aspirant and chieftain, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Hon. Obazee, who was one of the three aspirants cleared by the APC Screening Committee, withdrew from the race on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 ahead of the party’s primary scheduled for Monday, June 22.
Reacting to this new development, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, speaking through a statement signed by Prince John Mayaki, the Director of Communication and Media of his Campaign Organization, expressed gratitude to Hon. Osaro Obazee and described his support as another “important boost” for his aspiration days before the primary election.
“Hon. Osaro Obazee is a fine politician whose entrance into the race no doubt injected more life and excitement. He campaigned from his heart and took his message to members and followers of our party across the state. I am grateful to him for his endorsement and very confident that it will provide an important boost to our bid as we approach the primary election of our great party.”
Ize-Iyamu, who is widely predicted to emerge as the APC’s flagbearer, also received the endorsement of all serving members of the House of Representatives representing all constituencies in Edo State on the platform of the All Progressives Congress earlier this week.
