Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has emerged as the torchbearer of the All Progressives Congress in the coming Edo governorship election as he won by a landslide at the party’s direct primary conducted on Monday.

Ize-Iyamu pulled 27,838 votes, while his closest rival, Dr. Pius Odubu scored 3,776 while Mr Osaro Obaze pulled 2,751 votes.

Chairman of the Edo State APC Primary Election Committee, Governor Hope Uzodinma, declared Ize-Iyamu winner of the election after collating the results turned in by the returning officers in the 18 local government areas of the state.

“Iyamu having scored highest in the primary election is hereby returned candidate of the APC in the coming governorship election.

“This election is one of the most clinically exercised in the history of elections in Nigeria. This state which originally belongs to the APC will return to the APC after the governorship election,” Uzodinma said.

September 19 has been fixed for the governorship election in Edo.
