N700m fraud: CSO urges Edo voters to reject Ize-Iyamu over trial

An Edo-based civil society group, Forum for Progressive Governance and Accountability , has called on Edo people to reject, candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the September 19, 2020, gubernatorial poll in the state, as he faces a charge bordering on an alleged N700 million fraud case preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .

Torrent of criticisms have continued to trail the ongoing corruption trial of the APC candidate with several groups calling on Ize-Iyamu to step aside from the guber race and clear his name. The group further called on President Muhammadu Buhari, Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mohammed Umar and other well-meaning Nigerians to watch out against undue interference in the case, noting that some powers behind the scene were working assiduously to influence the trial and sabotage the court proceeding in favour of the lead defendant, Pastor Ize-Iyamu.

“Edo people will vote and support only individuals with a noble character that is above board and have no verifiable allegations of corruption and malfeasance like, whose achievements in the last three years and seven months have repositioned the state to compete favourably with other sub-nationals.”
