Osagie Ize-Iyamu, Edo state governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to his loss at Saturday’s polls.
According to him the election was riddled with irregularities as his supporters were not allowed to vote.
The Independent National Electoral Commission had yesterday declared the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Godwin Obaseki, winner of the governorship election in Edo State, Sunday September 2020.
Prof. Akpofure Rim-Rukeh, the INEC’s Returning Officer announced the total result of the election. APC polled 223,619 votes, while PDP got 307,955 votes.
Reacting to the announced results, Osagie Ize-Iyamu alleged that there were many irregularities during the election and that his supporters were ‘prevented from voting.’
Ize-Iyamu revealed that he is studying the results along with other party members and will soon announce his next move. He wrote;
“I thank and appreciate my supporters, who had to endure many evils including being prevented from voting, for their support and determination during the election. I assure you all that I am studying the results along with other party members and will announce my next move soon.”
