Edo Govt, Federal Govt Need To Be In The Same Party - Ize-Iyamu Tells Voters

A former governorship candidate in Edo State, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has told citizens of the state to vote for the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Monday Okpebholo, on Saturday.​


Osagie Ize-Iyamu said Edo State needs to have a governor who is in the same political party with the federal government.

Ize-Iyamu stated this in a video he posted on his X handle, on Thursday.

He explained that the state cannot have good roads, international airports and a seaport with a state governor that is not in the same party with the leadership at the federal government.

The 2016 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) argued that Edo State should not be in the opposition party.

He said, “Our dear people of Edo State vote for APC for rural and infrastructure development. We do not want to lament or begin to give excuses. We are sorry. This is a federal road. Edo State is part of the federation and Edo State must work hand in hand with the federal government. We want a governor that will be able to go to Abuja and get federal attention for our roads. The federal roads in Edo are too strategic to neglect and tell us they are federal roads. We want a governor that will be able to fix Sapele road, that will be able to fix the Ekpoma road, that will be able to fix the Auchi road, major roads, Asaba road.

“So we are not interested in opposition. We want to be in the mainstream. We want the federal government to bring major projects to our states. Edo State is overdue for an international airport. Working hand in hand with the federal government, we can make a case. These small airports are being upgraded. We don’t see why one of the oldest airports in this country, and that has huge patronage, remains a small airport. Working together with the federal government, that is achievable.”

The APC chieftain and former governorship aspirant added that the state’s Gelegele seaport project cannot be achieved without an APC government in Osadebe House.

“Gelegele seaport that they talked about cannot be achieved if we are in opposition. And that is why to date much progress has not been made. If we have a governor, and by the grace of God, we have one that is of APC extraction, we believe that it will be able to work hand in hand with those at the federal level to ensure that that port becomes a reality.

“There is so much to achieve if we are in sync, if the state and federal government belong to the same political party. And that is where we want to carry our people to. Not opposition that benefits on few people, but in the mainstream so that our people can get the best from the Nigerian nation,” Ize-Iyamu added.
