I will probe Oshiomhole when I become Governor – Ize-Iyamu

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate in forthcoming governorship election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has sworn that the incumbent governor, Adams Oshiomhole’s administration must be probed if he wins the September 10 polls. Ize-Iyamu further challenged the governor to probe his (Ize-Iyamu) eight years in office as Chief of Staff and Secretary to the State Government.

He was speaking during his campaign in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of the state yesterday.

He said, “I call on Adams Oshiomhole to probe my time in government and look at everything that I did. “Let him do it because by the grace of God, when I am governor, I will probe him. I will probe him; every kobo that has come to Edo State must be accounted for. That is his fear; that is why he can no longer sleep.”

Oshiomhole had thrown critical comments on Ize-Iyamu and PDP chieftain, Tony Anenih during the APC’s candidate, Godwin Obaseki, campaign in Edo South on Friday, alleging that they had contributed in under-developing the state.

Oshiomhole further said the PDP candidate was seeking to become governor by all means in order to avoid prosecution.

But Ize-Iyamu said, “Adams Oshiomhole believes that the more he attacks, the more he can hide the truth. He should know that it is not by insulting Ize-Iyamu or Chief Anenih. “Only recently in a Catholic Church, he met Chief Anenih and he apologized to him on the alter to forgive him. Days after, he was abusing Chief Anenih.

“He says Pastor Ize-Iyamu is bad; Ize-Iyamu is useless. When he appointed Pastor Ize-Iyamu DG (Director-General) of his campaign, he did not know that time.

“When he made him national vice chairman of his party, he did not know then. Now that Ize-Iyamu has left him, Ize-Iyamu is suddenly bad.”
