A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and other PDP leaders will officially join the ruling All Progressives Congress tomorrow Thursday November 21.
This was confirmed in a resignation letter dated 21 November 2019 and addressed to the state chairman of the PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, by Pastor Ize-Iyamu.
The former PDP governorship candidate said his decision to leave the party with some other leaders of the PDP and his teeming supporters was “without malice or bitterness.”
He said that his decision to leave the PDP along with several leaders of the party from across the state, was unanimous and was “not an easy one, considering the warm relationship we have enjoyed with many members of the party.”
According to the letter sighted by NIGER DELTA TODAY on Wednesday stated, “There are however many compelling reasons that have necessitated this resolution, but it would be uncharitable even to throw stones at a house we once inhabited and many friends and associates.
“We wish to state for the records that our primary motivation in politics is to effectively represent our people in the political arena and ensure that government policies and resources are for the betterment of our people,” the letter stated.
The event scheduled to take place at his residence in Benin city will put paid to speculations that Ize-Iyamu was dumping his former party in favor of the ruling APC, which the clergyman had argued was a trip back home.
