File: Edo state governor, Monday Okpebholo
It would have been proper to gloss over the recent political developments in Edo State, particularly the just-concluded APC Edo South Senatorial District primary election, in which Rt. Hon. Omoregie Ogbeide-Ihama secured the highest number of votes ahead of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and Senator Neda Imasuen and remained focused on projecting the developmental strides of the administration of Governor Monday Okpebholo.
That will not be possible because the governor’s name has been dragged into a matter he knows little or nothing about by supporters and agents of Ize-Iyamu across various social media platforms over his recent political predicament.
The fact remains and is very important too that Ize-Iyamu called his supporters to order and cautioned them against using uncouth language against the governor. His Excellency remains the first citizen of the State and deserves all the respect due to his office.
The pastor himself cannot claim ignorance of the fact that many of these attacks reflect the views of his camp. He also cannot claim to respect the governor as the leader of the APC in Edo State while simultaneously allowing coordinated media attacks against him.
