Ize-Iyamu and I will emerge victorious – Gani Audu


The Deputy Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State in the ongoing election, Mallam Gani Audu, has declared that Edo is an APC state.



He also gave an assurance that Edo APC’s standard bearer, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu would emerge victorious.

Audu, a former Chairman of Etsako West Local Government Council, who is a current member of Edo House of Assembly, stated this at Unit 13, Ward 7, Ughiole Primary School, Aviele, Etsako West LGA in Edo North Senatorial District, after casting his vote at 11:11 a.m.

He described the turnout of voters as massive and impressive, being the first of its kind in the area.

Audu also urged the voters across Edo state to continue to give peace a chance.

He said there was violence in Ward 5, Agbede in the same Etsako West LGA, while adding that security agents were able to quickly restore normalcy, with voting continuing in the community.

The governorship election in Edo Central and Edo North Senatorial Districts witnessed heavy security and massive turnout of the electorate, with the weather being very clement and voting being done peacefully.
