The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Edo State governorship elections, Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has insisted he is not desperate to become governor.

Ize-Iyamu previously contested in 2016 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but lost to the incumbent, Godwin Obaseki, who was then the APC candidate.

However, both men have switched parties ahead of next month’s polls.

Ize-Iyamu, speaking to journalists on Thursday, said if he loses, he will head to the courts and not instigate violence.

“A man who genuinely wants to serve cannot be desperate. It is not compulsory that I should be the governor.

“If God wills, I will win. I assure you that if I lose the election, the worst that can happen is that I will go to court but I won’t resort to violence. We have warned our supporters against violence,” he said.

Patiently. Shea?

techmo:
I like this man's maturity

Randal:

Very patiently

slivertongue:
surely you will lose

Unigrad:
He knows he is not going anywhere. Is getting clearer, it's getting done on him. Oshiomole and co deceived him, his chances would have being high if he had remain in PDP to contest. Obaseki victory is sure. Torgba.

SpecialAdviser:
Nice one Mr Ize Iyamu. We need peace. May God protect all innocent Edolites blood from being spilled in Jesus name.

Whoever loses should take it by fate.

Amitez:
Op, replace "if" with "when" on your headline. Thank me later.

Johnnyessence:
you will be disgrace both in the poll and in the court.

With what you people did at the Oba's palace

No normal person will take any word coming from a party known for propaganda

Kabaka and a sitting governor (Yahaya Bello) is now known for certified thuggery to be feared

I am sure that all the electorates who wish to bring godfatherism to an end will be on the look out!

On our part, we are praying for less casualties and an end to godfatherism!

May the heroes that put an end to it b remembered.

That is the only means to win election these days as an APC member.....



When you lose...You go to court...The court will tactically delay and keep negotiating with the FG....Then, they will ask you to appeal and booooom!! You'll be declared the winner....
