‘Leave my church out of your dirty, unholy politics,’ Ize-Iyamu tells governor

Ize-Iyamu’s comments were also addressed to his main competitor and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Godwin Obaseki.

Edo State former governor, Adams Oshiomhole

Ize-Iyamu is a senior pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

He made the comments via a statement released by his campaign organisation.

The statement reads:

“Governor Adams Oshiomhole and his puppet APC candidate, Godwin Obaseki, should not drag RCCG into their dirty, unholy politics. The allegation is a cheap blackmail from those who want to bring the name of the church into disrepute, and they will surely fail.”

“Why can’t pastors be part of our efforts to rescue Edo State? Just yesterday, three more pensioners in Edo state died while others are presently languishing in penury and different ailments following the long wait for their arrears of pension and gratuities after retirement from active service.”

Ize-Iyamu’s comments were also addressed to his main competitor and All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Godwin Obaseki.

The duo will be going head to head during the state’s governorship elections on September 10, 2016.
