Anxiety looms in Benin as the APC flagbearer has disclosed that he would pursue eligibility case against the governor and his deputy Philip Shaibu
Though, Ize-Iyamu posited that he would not drag the governor to the election tribunal to contest his victory in the September 19 poll.
In a press statement issued by John Mayaki, the media head of his campaign organisation, the two pre-election court cases instituted against the PDP will continue.
The APC candidate disclosed this in what appears as if there’s desperation to evict Obaseki and his deputy out of office.
He said:
“Elections are far more than actual voting, just as democracy includes more than just elections. It is in this light that we draw attention to the fact that the PDP and its standard-bearers (Obaseki and Shaibu) have continued to pursue many pre-election suits in various courts against us, all totalling 13. One of such cases came up in the High Court of Benin on October 2, 2020, days after the election .”
With this development it’s obvious that the race for the governor’s seat is still open to hot contest by both parties.
