BEVERLY HILLS, June 18, (THEWILL) – One of the governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, Osaro Obazee, has stepped down for the ‘anointed’ aspirant, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, in the race to pick up the party’s governorship ticket for the September 19, 2020, election in the state.
Obazee announced the decision on Wednesday, pledging his support, alongside that of his supporters, to the former Secretary to the State Government who is widely tipped to emerge as the party’s flagbearer.
Reacting through a statement signed by John Mayaki, the Director of Communication and Media of his Campaign Organisation, Ize-Iyamu expressed gratitude to Obazee and described his support as another “important boost” for his aspiration ahead of the primary election.
“Hon. Osaro Obazee is a fine politician whose entrance into the race no doubt injected more life and excitement,” the statement said.
“He campaigned from his heart and took his message to members and followers of our party across the state.
