Africa Press-Nigeria:
Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirant in Edo has reacted to the move by Governor Godwin Obaseki to enforce the laws and regulations placed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the State ahead of the APC primaries scheduled for today (Monday).
The Edo State Government had on Sunday reiterated its resolve to enforce the social distancing order and regulations put in place to prevent the spread of Coronavirus in the State.
The government charged political parties to restrict the conduct of their primary elections within the protocols and provisions of the state’s COVID-19 Quarantine Regulations and Gazette on political gatherings.
Obaseki’s government said it would spare no expense in upholding the law and protecting the lives of the people.
And the leading APC aspirant, Ize-Iyamu believes this announcement was made to frustrate the APC primaries in the State, insisting the rules were biased and hypocritical and done in bad-faith.
