Bombshell: APC Supporter, Kassim Afegbua, Says Party Stole PDP’s Governorship Victory In 2016 |The Source

By Adesina Soyooye

It has been sensationally revealed that the APC candidate in the Edo 2016 Governorship Election did not win.

The result was manipulated, for him to be declared the winner, and sworn into office, thus robbing the PDP of its victory.

Kassim Afegbua, a supporter of the APC candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, made the earth-shaking revelation Wednesday, on an AIT morning programme, Khakaki.

The candidate of the APC, then, was Godwin Obaseki, the incumbent Governor of Edo State, who is now, the Governorship candidate of the PDP in the September, 19, 2020 Governorship election.

In 2016, Ize-Iyamu was the Governorship candidate of the PDP, and, even though he insisted he won the election, both the INEC, and the Courts declared Obaseki the winner.

Now, Afegbua, has confirmed Ize-Iyamu’s persistent claims at the time that the APC stole his mandate.

Afegbua was the Commissioner for Information at the time of the alleged electoral heist that denied the PDP victory under the Governorship of Adams Oshiomhole.

Afegbua later quit the APC and declared for the PDP. He was one of the spokespersons of the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 Presidential election.

But a couple of months ago, while still in the party, he dramatically began to vehemently support the candidacy of Ize-Iyamu, in protest that the PDP gave its ticket to Obaseki and Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu.

The PDP has suspended him.

Speaking against Obaseki on Wednesday, Afegbua said that most of them were against his candidacy in 2016, but that he was imposed on them by Oshiomhole,who did everything to make him win, including, as he revealed now, stealing PDP’s victory.

Asked for details, Afegbua said they would be in a book he is writing.

He should know. He was an insider.
