Some governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress have vowed to begin holding political rallies in defiance of Governor Godwin Obaseki ban on political rallies due to insecurity.
The aspirants, Dr. Pius Odubu, General Charles Airhiavbere, Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi, Saturday Uwulekhue and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, said Governor Obaseki could not beholding rallies and stopped them from holding rallies.
Speaking on behalf of the aspirants at a press briefing in Bénin City, Pastor Ize-Iyamu said it was Governor Obaseki that first violated the ban on political rallies.
Pastor Ize-Iyamu, who wondered where the Governor derived the powers to ban rallies in the state, said they would be waiting to be put in jail.
On the court’s suspension of Oshiomhole, Pastor Ize-Iyamu said it was ridiculous for three Ward executives to sigh the letter suspending Oshiomhole from the party.
Pastor Ize-Iyamu stated that only the National Working Committee and the National Executive Committee that could remove a National chairman of a political party.
Ize-Iyamu described the jubilation that greeted the court’s ruling as shameful.
He said the removal of Oshiomhole would not guarantee a second term ticket for Obaseki.
