BARRING any hitches, the former Secretary to the Edo State Government, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu will defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) any moment from now.

Ize-Iyamu, the PDP candidate in the 2015 governorship election in Edo State who confirmed the move in a telephone interview with Tribune Online yesterday said that he decided to yield to pressure from his ers who have persistently pleaded with him to “return home.”

The former South-South zonal vice-chairman of the APC who is presently in Abuja to strategize his declaration said that he succumbed to pressure from his ers because of the disarray within the rank of the opposition party.



He said that having done his best to reconcile the warring parties within the PDP without success, he decided to call it quit and was fully set to the APC.

He said that he was in Abuja to meet with the top leadership of the party so as to perfect the plan for the defection which will take place at a grand rally to be held in the Edo State capital.

Ize-Iyamu, however, insisted that as a founding member of the Action Congress (AC) which metamorphosed to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and later the APC following the merger of several parties, he was merely returning home and not defecting.

He said: “It is true that I am leaving the PDP for the APC. I am not defecting but merely returning home. I am quitting the PDP because of the too many problems bedevilling the party which I have tried in my own way to resolve without success. It is not a rumour, I am going back home to APC.”

Only recently, a pressure group, PDP Integrity Group suspended the trio of the former Foreign Affairs Minister, Chief Tom Ikimi, former Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Mike Oghiadohme and former ex-Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onolememen from the party over alleged anti-party activities.

What kind of fuvkery is that?

Our politicians are very shameless. I’m not impressed at all with his defection, he should stay put in PDP. Ize-Iyamu is the Atiku of Edo State. Always jumping from one party to another every election cycle.

This is how u guys pushed Ambo,Saraki,Atiku n Adeleke to their early grave. Since u said dat politics is not gbegiri,yes I believe u in dat but my qst is b/w Oshiomole n Obaseki who knows d politics better.
that Oshiomole has d backing of d fg n Tinubu running for 2023 will never allow Edo goes either way. Is it strategy or money wise, count on Tinubu.
I'm not saying dat any of them is ryt or wrong in his dealing but Obaseki shld look back n tread with caution, it's is not always easy to win Oshiomole in a battle.

What is currently happening in Edo is a classic illustration of permanent interests but not permanent friendship and enmity. For Oshiomole and his group, the interest is POLITICAL RELEVANCE and for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu (POI) the interest is achieving his GOVERNORSHIP AMBITION. There is a fit of selfish interests.

However, the million naira question remains if Ize-Iyamu wins, what is the assurance that he will not also fight Oshiomole and his group?

Bad move

How does he plan on unseating Obaseki

He thinks Oshiomole has powers like Tinubu does in Lagos where all the politics of the state starts and ends in bourdillon

I can say for certain that at the moment Obaseki is more popular than Oshiomole in Edo state.

Obaseki has craftily collected control of all the powers of the state from those who wielded it before...and he's also a Buhari's boy, so Oshiomole can't use federal might against him.

Ize-Iyamu just went from Zero to -1
