Former National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress party (APC), Adams Oshomole, has said it was a mistake supporting the governorship aspiration of Godwin Obaseki in 2016 to ensure the continuity of his projects and programs.
Oshomole stated this while speaking with Punch, on Sunday at the Government Reservation Area, Benin.
“Obaseki is MoU (Memoranda of Understanding) governor, but Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu is a man of God, who will ensure good governance in Edo State from November 12 this year.
“I have made honest mistakes. Only God is perfect. I am now 68 years old. I have come to apologise for the error of supporting Obaseki in 2016. I am in Edo State to repair my mistakes, he said.
“Obaseki has abused the trust of the Edo people. With our permanent voter cards, we shall punish Obaseki on September 19. Ize-Iyamu will not repeat the mistakes of Obaseki. Ize-Iyamu will take Edo State to the next level.”
Earlier, Ize-Iyamu alleged that Obaseki had not done well in almost four years as governor of the state and had lost focus.
Meanwhile, Ize-Iyamu has received the blessing of the Enigies in the Benin Kingdom.
