The candidate of the All Progressives Congress in last year’s Edo Governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is appealing a High Court ruling nullifying his candidacy alongside running mate, Hon. Gani Audu, in the tightly-contested guber race which remains subject of litigation over contended discrepancies in the academic credentials of the declared winner, Governor Godwin Obaseki.

Gani Audu. However, in a press statement, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu described the ruling as “unfortunate and utterly wrong”. “I have already instructed my Counsel to appeal against the judgment, as I am convinced that the Court of Appeal will dispassionately consider the facts presented before the Court and arrive at a just decision in accordance with the law,” he said.

Adams Oshiomhole, former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says if given a second chance, he will not lead the ruling party . In a statement on Monday, Oshiomhole said he remains proud of the achievements of the party’s national working committee (NWC) under his leadership.

I instructed my lawyers to withdraw the suits challenging my purported suspension from office by the proxies of those bent on removing me as chairman,” the statement read. It is, therefore, the height of mischief to insinuate, as it is being done in some quarters, that I would publicly accept the decision and later surreptitiously seek to contest it in court. That chapter of my political life is closed. Even if another NEC decision or a court order reverses the dissolution, with utmost humility I will decline to return...

There is no gainsaying that if you are not with the national party, and you choose to be in opposition, of course, you will continue to fast until God answers your prayers. “But we that are in the ruling, of course, what it will take us to solve certain problems may be different from what it will take somebody who is not very close to the source of authority to solve his own problems.” Speaking further, Rabsreporter s ...
