N200m election fund threatens to split Edo APC - Punch Newspapers

A fresh crisis is brewing in the Edo chapter of All Progressives Congress as the leadership of the State Professional Drivers on Wheels has claimed that the party’s former governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu has reneged on his promise to pay them N200 million for their activities during the 2020 governorship election.

President of the association, Adam Ehigiamusoe, who is also a chieftain of the APC, made the claim at a press conference in Benin, on Thursday. He said the money meant for his trade union to mobilise for the election was never released and that Ize-Iyamu held on to the fund in spite of entreaties to get him to release it.

“Ehigiamusoe said “Ize-Iyamu was never interested in the growth of the party but what he stands to benefit from the party; he is self-centered and arrogate everything that comes to himself and cronies. “As we speak, he has already compromised the forthcoming congress; he has positioned his people to take over every possible position available and this may lead to a parallel congress being conducted in the state.
