Edo State High Court, sitting in Benin City, the state capital, on Thursday affirmed the membership of Pastor Osagie Ize-iyamu as an authentic member of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
One of the counsels to the APC candidate, Douglas Ogbakwa, Esq, told DAILY POST that the court in affirming Ize-iyamu as fully registered APC member noted that the waiver granted by the party’s National Working Committee was unnecessary.
Similarly, the National Executive Committee, NEC, of All Progressives Congress, APC, has ratified the candidacy of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the party’s candidate in the September governorship election.
The NEC also gave the Mai Malla Buni-led Caretaker /Convention Committee six months to organize the election of the National Working Committee, NEC, members.
This was disclosed by Governor Atiku Bagudu while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the Emergency NEC presided by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa.
