Edo election is a litmus test for Tinubu’s presidential ambition- Bamgbose

Bamgbose who made this known while having an interview with Daily Post, said that Tinubu’s Presidential ambition will be jeopardized if the APC’s candidate for Edo elections, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu loses the election.

The CAGG coordinator also stated that Oshiomhole should get prepared to relocate from Edo State if the incumbent Governor, Godwin Obaseki wins the September 19 election.

Bamgbose believes that the governorship election is between Oshiomhole and his former political godson, Obaseki.

He noted that the election will go down in history as the toughest one in the entire history of Edo State considering the big guns and the big wigs involved.

He said, “This is one election that Oshiomhole won’t want to lose. It’s a do or die affair for him. It’s an election that will either make him or mar him for life.

“ Oshiomhole’s political career is attached to this volatile election. If he ‘loses’, it will mark the end of his political dynasty. Oshiomhole will certainly not take things for granted.

“Tinubu equally will do anything possible for Obaseki to lose to Pastor Ize Iyamu. The Edo election is no doubt a litmus test for Tinubu’s presidential ambition.

“If the APC Governorship Candidate loses, his Presidential ambition will be jeopardized. On the other hand, Obaseki will not for any reason want to lose the election, as incumbent Governor.

“He will be ready to do anything within his political capacity to put Oshiomhole to big shame. The truth of the matter is that the Edo Election is between Obaseki and Oshiomhole.

“However If Ize Iyamu loses to Obaseki, Oshiomhole should get prepared to relocate from Edo State immediately.

“Edo will be hell to him if Ize-Iyamu loses to Obaseki. The die is cast. The battle line is drawn. Who will win is no doubt a one million naira question,” he stated.

Daily Times reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) Media Campaign Council for Edo State governorship election recently demanded that investigation be conducted into Governor Godwin Obaseki’s alleged arms importation, thugs’ escort and massive shootings during his re-election campaigns.
