The People's Democratic Party candidate, Pastor Osagie Iyze Iyamu has been dealt a huge blow in the appellate court where his closest rival, Obaseki cruised to victory.
Godwin Obaseki and Pastor Osagie Iyze Iyamu
The Appeal Court on Friday validated the election of Mr. Godwin Obaseki of the All Progressives Congress as the governor of Edo State.
The PDP and its candidate, Ize Iyamu, had challenged Obaseki’s election, alleging manipulation of the governorship election.
The election petition tribunal recently upheld the election of Governor Obaseki. There is the likelyhood that Mr. Iyamu might be pursuing his case at the Supreme Court following his previous public statements.
Details soon.
