Mr Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Edo governorship election on September 19 has appealed to Governor Godwin Obaseki to return to the party.
Ize-Iyamu stated this on Monday in Benin while addressing newsmen after his emergence as the candidate of the party.
Ize-Iyamu said: “This is the time to unite all the members of the APC. Sometimes ago, somebody asked me a question; when the problem of APC will end and I told them that every problem has expiry date.
“And in my humble opinion the day we complete our primaries, that day the problem will end.
“So, I believe that by this process which we have just completed, the party is now on the path of full recovery.
“We are going to talk to everybody; we are going to bring everybody back.
“And let me also say that I want to salute my brother, the governor of the state, Mr Godwin Obaseki.
“I will like to appeal to him to return to the party.
“In every family we have disagreements, let it not be said that this disagreement pushed him out.
“I made that mistake before and I have come to realise that it was a grievous error and I don’t want him as a senior brother to make the same mistake
