How Oshiomhole, Tinubu, cost APC, Ize-Iyamu lost - Dan Gobbiya

Activist Joel Michael Gb Dan Gobbiya an APC Advocate also member Good Governance & Peace Advocate has faulted the failure of the party’s candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, to what he called the Protest Vote of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 

Reacting to the outcome of the election, Dan Gobbiya berated Oshiomhole and Tinubu for their display of “unnecessary enacted influence,” adding that the manner Mr Obaseki was treated in the build-up to the APC primary election, won him a huge number of supporters across the state. 

In an exclusive chat with Edolites News advanced reasons APC failed in the just concluded election “Adams Oshiomhole’s magnitude on the campaign train affected the chances of APC and its candidate. most of us know that Ize-Iyamu to be a strong challenge to PDP but the involvement of Oshiomhole cost him to lost popularity. 

“People should realize that the forces that removed Oshiomhole as APC national chairman are still very much around. He was removed even though I have never been his fans. That means the powers and influence he had then have now reduced drastically. So those forces fought him again and Ize-Iyamu. 

“Again, Edo are not fools by the ways Utterances. So, the people decided to protest vote against the party. “The over 200,000 votes APC got were the respect based on personality of President Muhammadu Buhari, not because of Ize-yamu. The influence added no value the electorate. 

Dan Gobbiya faulted Oshiomhole’s decision to apologize for the words he used in describing Ize-Iyamu during the 2016 governorship campaign saying “I said earlier that Oshiomhole should have withdrawn himself from the campaign. 

If he was not a member of the campaign team, there would have been no need to apologize for the words he uttered in 2016. The words he used in describing Ize-Iyamu in 2016 were heavy and they became campaign tools for PDP. Oshiomhole played a prominent role in the defeat Ize-Iyamu suffered in this election.” Dan Gobbiya said.
