A mega rally held by the faction at the premises of a former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, saw him defecting to the ruling APC alongside other prominent members of the opposition party.
Ogie said the state government had made clear its position that the “plans by some identified mischief-makers to organise an unauthorised political rally in Bénin City was capable of leading to breakdown of public peace and danger to the persons and property of Edo citizens.” Imuse said the coming of Ize-Iyamu and his supporters from the 18 local government areas would add value to the party.
The party had planned to use the field of a private school in the city, Garrick Memorial College for the rally to welcome lze lyamu, but the government banned political rallies in the state and warned that any private school that flouted the ban would have its certificate of occupancy revoked. APC National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who arrived in Benin City on Thursday for the rally, stayed away.
