Edo 2020: Deputy speaker, lawmakers drum support for APC candidate, Ize-Iyamu

Deputy speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Yekini Idiaye and four other lawmakers have declared their support for the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

The lawmakers were among the 10 that were inaugurated in July 2019 while 14 others remain yet to be inaugurated.

They informed that their decision is to remain in the APC on whose platform they were elected, insisting on not joining the state governor, Godwin Obaseki in his new party, the PDP.

The lawmakers also alleged that the state executive led by governor Obaseki has made the legislature irrelevant and unable to perform its functions as enshrined in the constitution.
