 By: Nelson Osamudia


Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the ongoing Edo governorship election, has adjudged the election as peaceful so far.


The former Secretary to the State Government made this known shortly after casting his vote at 9:30 am at polling unit 26, ward 5 in Iguododo community, Orionhwon Local Government Area. 


The Pastor under the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG expressed optimism of emerging the winner if the election is conducted conscientiously, peacefully and in line with legal processes. 


He told Instantnewsnaija that “The accreditation went on easily. I was given the ballot paper after accreditation and I casted my vote immediately. The ballot box is also  placed in a way that will give the voter privacy. I cannot say that what is happening here is happening all over the state because the communication is not very good.”

“I am happy I have been able to vote.”
