Edo Election: Philip Shaibu Revealed Oshiomhole Paid Lawmakers N40m Each To Declare Support For Ize-Iyamu
Mr Philip Shaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, has alleged that the immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, gave Yekini Idiaye, the State Assembly Deputy Speaker, N40 million to declare his support for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
The Deputy Governor called on the people of Akoko-Edo Local Government Area to demand their share of the money from their representatives in the state House of Assembly, Idiaye and Hon. Emmanuel Agbaje.
Philip Shaibu also called on President Buhari to investigate how Adams Oshiomhole got such money he allegedly gave to each of the lawmakers to influence their support for the All Progressive Congress (APC).
The allegations was made when he addressed supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lampese, Akoko-Edo LGA.
In his words, “Speaker of the EDHA and all the Principal Officers are supporting the governor, while all those that left demanded money which he declined because of the love and interest of Edo people.

“Hon. Agbaje and Hon. Yekini collected N40 million each to throw their support for Ize-Iyamu.”
He said the former Governor also gave N5 million each to ward councilors to declare their support for Ize-Iyamu.
“I had a meeting with these lawmakers who demanded $10,000 but I told them Obaseki is not a governor that shares money but uses such money for the development of Edo State,” he added.
“Use your Permanent Voters Card (PVC) to vote these corrupt leaders out of office.
“We know President Muhammadu Buhari is fighting corruption and should call Oshiomhole and ask him where he got such money from” he said.
