The Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the September 19, 2020 Governorship election in Edo State, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, has kicked against the N20 billion Naira loan proposal being considered by Governor Godwin Obaseki.

In a statement endorsed by Mr. John Mayaki, the Director of Communication and Media of his Campaign Organization, Ize-Iyamu, stated that the fund would he used to by Obaseki to pursue his second-term ambition.

Ize-Iyamu, warned financial institutions against granting the loan facility to the Edo State Government.

“We find it shocking that after the many tribulations Obaseki’s directionless and incompetent administration has caused in Edo State, the Governor is hatching fresh plans to mortgage the future of the State and her youths with additional loans to fund his desperate political agenda to foist himself on the people for another four years.

“It is therefore heartless, irresponsible, and unconscionable for such a man to even conceive obtaining another loan in the tune of 20 billion Naira for his political godfathers in the PDP who are cashing in on his desperation and lack of integrity.

“We want to warn all financial institutions to honour the age-long freeze practice observed during election seasons and possible change of government and not grant any loan to the heartless Godwin Obaseki who appears to now be on a mission to completely sell-out our state and the future of our youths”, the statement said.
