The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ebonyi State, Barrister Onyekachi Nwebonyi has commended the Edo State Governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu for his sportsmanship and good dispositions though noted that he played into the wrong hand during the Edo Governorship Election.
In a statement issued in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi PDP headman stressed that the uncultured manner and unguided utterances of the former National chairman of the APC, Adams Oshomhole demarketed Pastor Ize-Iyamu.
While congratulating Governor Godwin Obaseki in the Saturday’s gubernatorial election, Barrister Nwebonyi noted that Edo People have been freed from the hands of plunderers.
Nwebonyi said: “It is a victory for the people and a victory for democracy. Edo people have decided on what they want. It is not about PDP; it is not about APC, it is about freeing Edo people from the hands of plunderers”.
“While I congratulate Governor Obaseki and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, I commend Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu for his show of statesmanship. Ize-Iyamu is a good man but had played into a wrong hand. Adams Oshiomhole with his uncultured manners and unguided utterances has demarketed Ize-Iyamu”.
“I also commend highly, President Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment to credible elections in Nigeria. Of course if Buhari continues with this trend, it will be the greatest legacy he is leaving for Nigeria when he leaves office. It will also help to correct the impressions of the 2019 general elections”.
“INEC performed creditably well in this election and deserves commendations. They should strive to hold unto that”.
“Governor Nyesom Wike led a good outing in Edo State. He refused to be intimidated and made sure the right thing was done in Edo irrespective of who wins the election. I commend him highly, as well as other PDP stalwarts both within and outside the state who contributed to the party’s success at the poll”.
He therefore enjoined Governor Obaseki to be magnanimous in victory and always remember that his victory is the collective will of Edo people.
