Edo Guber: David Imuse inaugurates APC Campaign Council, sure of victory



The Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress formally inaugurated its Campaign Council for the Sept. 19 Governorship election on Wednesday in Benin City and gave assurances to its supporters that the party is on its way to a comprehensive victory at the polls.
 
The Chairman of the State Chapter, Colonel David Imuse (Rtd.), who inaugurated the Campaign Council announced the appointment of General Cecil Esekhaigbe as the Director-General of the Campaign Council; Chief Lucky Imansuen, a former Deputy Governor of the State, as the Deputy Director-General; a former member of the House of Representatives, Hon Pally Iriase, as Secretary.
 
Colonel Imuse said the task of rescuing Edo State from an “irresponsible set of plunderers” is a task that must be embraced by all, while also charging all appointed members to give their all to the objective of delivering Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Hon. Mallam Gani Audu at the polls.
 
The Campaign Council has 19 sub-committees which, according to the State party chairman, was carefully selected to eject incumbent Governor Godwin Obaseki from the Edo State Government House for allegedly shutting down tertiary institutions in the state and abandoning infrastructural and human capital development projects while spending billions of naira to purchase a ticket in the opposition PDP.
 
In his acceptance speech, the Director-General, General Cecil Esekhaigbe said their task is already halfway achieved because the party’s candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, possesses an impeccable record of achievement which distinguishes from the incumbent Governor who, according to him, has demonstrated gross incompetence in office.
 
He said they are well motivated to take the campaign to the grassroots to further acquaint the people of Edo State with the SIMPLE agenda manifesto of the candidate and the various plans he has to move the State forward.
On his part, the candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, expressed satisfaction as the composition of the Campaign Council and assured party members that the council parades the ‘first eleven team’ capable of defeating the opposition and securing the victory of the APC.
 
He urged other members who do not hold positions in the council not to feel neglected or unacknowledged because the council has the mandate to drive the Campaign using the strengths of all members of the party and residents of the State.

Edo 2020: Group launches campaign against godfatherism, declares support for Obaseki's reelection bid

  A socio-political group, Bury Godfatherism Movement (BGM), has drummed support to the second term aspiration of the Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, vowing to mobilise Edo people to put an end to godfatherism during the state's governorship election scheduled for September 2020.   The group said it was shocking to see how the suspended National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is aspiring to be the new Edo godfather after the people supported him to defeat godfathers in the state.   Speaking at the launch of its public campaign in Benin City, President of the group, Osamede Oghogho, said it was shameful to see a man who popularised words such as "Let the people Lead", "No More godfatherism" and "No Man is God," transform himself into another godfather.   Oghogho said young graduates came together to form the movement for the purpose of ensuring that godfatherism is finally buried in Edo State during the

    The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Osagie Ize-Iyamu, risks arrest if he fails to appear in Court on July 14, for the continuation of the hearing of the alleged N700m money laundering case preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).   A Federal High Court in Benin City, had on Tuesday, July 2, adjourned the matter to July 14 due to the absence of Ize-Iyamu, who was said to be indisposed.   The trial had been delayed due to Ize-Iyamu's absence, even as the presiding judge, Justice Mohammed Garba, had earlier validated the charges against him.   Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is the first defendant in the suit No. FHC/BE21C/ 2016 filed by the EFCC, who accused the defendants of conspiring among themselves to commit the offence in March 2015, alleging that they took possession and control of the funds without any contract award.   The judge rejected the oral request for a prolonged adjournment of the case by the Counsel to I

N700m fraud: Group charges Edo youths to pay close attention to Ize-Iyamu's corruption trial

  A group, Concerned Citizens of Edo State has charged youths in the state to meticulously follow the trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer in the September 19 governorship election in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.   In a statement signed by its Secretary, Mr. Orobosa Igbinoba, the group said it was pertinent to put young people and all right-thinking members of the public at alert on the case, due to the enormity of the allegations, as it would be unfair to make decisions without understanding the character and dealings of someone they are being presented with to run as governor.   The group said, "We call on Edo youths to be aware that Pastor Ize-Iyamu would be standing trial for a N700m money laundering case preferred against him and four others by the EFCC. The case comes up in court on July 2, 2020. After numerous tricks to detract the court, the judge has validated the charges preferre
