Oshiomole Bows To Pressure Backs Down On Ize-Iyamu Guber Ambition
He was said to have bowed to pressure by the four aspirants, Dr. Pius Odubu, Engr. Chris Ogiemwonyi, Mr Solomon Edebiri and Mr Charles Arhiavbere threatened to rock the boat should Ize-Iyamu emerge the consensus Candidate of the party.
Mr Odubu, former deputy Governor of Edo State, has been tipped as the most viable option in EPM camp that can contest with Governor Godwin Obaseki whose influence transcends across the various divides.
Oshiomhole seems to have dumped Ize-Iyamu after the four aspirants threatened to withdraw their support from EPM during Thursday meeting with them.
Besides, the insistence of the aggrieved aspirants to ease out Ize-Iyamu, and nominate Odubu have gained much currency as Oshiomhole ignored campaign of calumny by Ize-Iyamu and his supporters on social Media to stop Odubu being the most credible EPM aspirant.
As the horse-trading and keep the oxen from the door continue, odds are in favour of Odubu who currently enjoy the support of other aspirants in EPM.
Crack team Naija can report that the outcome of another strategic meeting with EPM at the instance of Oshiomhole on Friday night would determine the future of EPM and its accord which is the hard knock for Oshiomhole, former Governor of the state to crack.
