By our reporter| Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano state and chairman of Edo state APC governorship campaign organisation on Monday said Rivers state governor and leader of the PDP campaign committee for Edo governorship election, Nyesom Wike, will be sent to an isolation centre ahead of the September 19 governorship election.
Ganduje who made the disclosure at the inauguration of the APC 49-member campaign team for the election, said he was confident the ruling party would win the Edo governorship poll.
Ganduje said, “We know the opposition is planning to rig the election, we know their tactics, we know their methodology and we shall dismantle all their tactics to ensure that we win this election.”
“We know PDP made Wike their chairman but I assure you, we will isolate Wike in an isolation centre and before he recovers, the election is over. The PDP decided to accommodate our former Governor in Edo State not because they have anything in common, not because they share some feelings, but simply because he is managing the treasury of Edo State and they want him to use that treasury in order to win the election.
“But I assure you the people of Edo State are watching, they know that somebody who was assisted in 2016 to win an election, somebody who was given every cooperation to succeed in the governance of Edo State without doing much for the people, at the end of it, he has taken the treasury and now handed it over to PDP in order to win the election. The people of Edo State will not accept this treachery. The people of Edo State on the 19th September will come out en masse and vote APC.”
The Edo governorship election scheduled to hold on September 19 is expected to a straight battle between Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the APC and incumbent governor Godwin Obaseki, who recently decamped to the main opposition PDP following his disqualification by the ruling APC’s screening committee.
