Edo State Governor-Elect, Mr Godwin Obaseki, has described as lies, the claim by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the just concluded governorship election in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, that God told him to pursue and recover his mandate, which he said was stolen from him by the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. Obaseki urged Ize-Iyamu to “stop deceiving the people because he is only pursuing his ambition and so should stop mentioning God.”
But reacting, Ize-Iyamu said that Obaseki was not God and does not know God. Ize – Iyamu, who spoke through one of his aides, Efe Igbinovi, said: “Obaseki is not God, he does not know God, so he has no right to question Ize-Iyamu’s closeness to God. He should face the problems confronting him.”
