Defeated candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the Edo State governorship election, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has opened up.

He said; “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.”

Before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the result, this was what he said;

“I am confident of a win this election. The process is good and going on smoothly; there is no thuggery and violence, the place is peaceful and calm.”

“I am happy that INEC has a thermometer to check the temperature and they also give out face masks to our people.”

“We encourage our people to come out in batches so they can strictly adhere to the Covid-19 protocols of social distances”.
