The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for Edo governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has vowed to probe the administration of incumbent Governor Adams Oshiomhole if elected.
The election is billed to hold September 10.
Ize-Iyamu also urged the governor to investigate the eight years he (Ize-Iyamu) spent in office as Chief of Staff and Secretary to the State Government.
Speaking during his campaign in Uromi, Esan North East Local Government Area of the state on Friday, 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.”
Governor Oshiomhole had, during the gubernatorial campaign of the All Progressives Congress’s candidate, Godwin Obaseki, in Edo South on Friday, criticised Ize-Iyamu and a former PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Chief Tony Anenih, for their alleged role in underdeveloping the state.
The governor also alleged that the PDP candidate was desperate to become Governor 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.”
The former SSG added, “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.”
