The deputy speaker of the Edo House of Assembly, Yekini Idiaye and four other lawmakers have pledged their support for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
They lawmakers are Emmanuel Agbaje, Nosayaba Okunbor, Dumez Ugiagbe, and Vincent Uwadiae.
Idiaye is one of the 10 Assemblymen out of 24 that Obaseki inaugurated last year.
Receiving them in Benin,Ize-Iyamu said Obaseki’s disgraceful end has become inevitable with the daily abandonment of his government by civil commissioners, chairmen of Boards and appointees.
He said Obaseki has deprived over 50 percent of Edo people of representation in the legislature, after inaugurating a minority in the night.
The APC candidate commended the lawmaker and others who had previously pledged their loyalty, for their steadfastness in choosing to remain in the APC on which platform they got elected.
He assured them that his Manifesto of Hope, Simple Agenda will be implemented to the letter in every part of the state when he gets elected.
Idiaye responded: “I was elected on the platform of the APC and I have made it clear and I have told the whole world that I started my political career in the APC and I have no reason to defect to any political party.”
