The All Progressives Congress Governorship candidate in the Edo
State election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, on Thursday
noted that he and his party are at liberty to pursue any legal
option if they want to as long as the peace of the state is not
threatened.
Ize-Iyamu in his statement noted that his party is collating
facts and would soon speak authoritatively in the best tradition of
rule of law, fairness to all and due process.
He said, “We will brief you all in good time and that time
is near. But then, the question is after September 19, what next?
We owe you an explanation on the way forward. Indeed, not a few
have been bombarding us with this question. Well, we have kept
quiet so far, not because we are bad losers, as some unfairly
presume. It’s rather because, no matter the situation, we are
staunch soldiers of the rule of law and due process.”
Suffice it to say that with due sensitivity to the feelings
of our people, we are busy collating our facts. Only after
can we speak and speak authoritatively in the best tradition of
rule of law, fairness to all and due process. We will brief you all
in good time and that time is near.”

“In the course of our methodical approach, not a few deem to
have pre-empted our course of action and pleaded that we do not
proceed to the courts to challenge the election result. While that
cannot be dismissed as an entirely bad plea, what I can say is that
whatever action we subsequently take will be rooted in due process
and the rule of law. We will exercise every right available to us
under the law, given the electoral facts at our disposal.”
“Even as we speak, our people should know that the PDP and
their agents and privies have instituted 13 lawsuits against my
running mate and I. None of them have they discontinued after the
election. So, if the PDP don’t pass up their rights under the law,
why should we in the APC do so?”
