Ize-Iyamu, Imasuen Withdraw From Edo Governorship Race
SHARE

A former governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has withdrawn from the 2024 race.

Daily Report Nigeria reports that Ize-Iyamu, who lost out to Governor Godwin Obaseki in 2020, withdraw his ambition after he was cleared to contest the seat a fourth time.

In a statement on Thursday, the clergyman cum politician cited the unity of the APC among reasons for his decision to step down from the contest.

“Having being cleared to contest, I regrettably wish to announce my withdrawal from the race,” Ize-Iyamu said.

“Although painful, this decision has become imperative after an exhaustive consultation with my family, friends, political associates, and supporters I make this sacrifice in the interest of the peace and unity that the party desperately requires at both state and national levels, I humbly appeal to the good people of Edo State to accept my decision which is very personal and I promise to be there for them at all times,” he added.

Ize-Iyamu’s withdrawal was swiftly followed by that of Chief Lucky Imasuen, who also stepped down from the Edo 2024 governorship race.

In a statement on Friday, Imasuen said his decision became imperative after the APC National Working Committee, NWC, zoned the governorship ticket to Edo Central Senatorial District.

He said;
“I have come to the conclusion that since our national working committee(NWC), in their wisdom, have expressed their preference for zoning the governorship position to Edo Central Senatorial district, it’s wise to align with the decision of the party,” the statement read in part.

“I am immensely grateful for your unwavering support and belief in me throughout this journey. Your dedication and passion have been the driving force behind my campaign.

“While this decision was not made lightly, I trust that you will understand and continue to support our party as we work together towards our shared goals.

“From the foregoing, I’m ready to support whoever emerges as our candidate in the primary election scheduled for tomorrow.

“Thank you once again for standing by my side. Together, we can make a difference and bring about positive change for Edo state,” the statement read further.
