Forget his suspension as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is dancing. In suspension, he is victorious.

Announcing the Pastor winner, in a landslides victory, Chairman of the Edo Primary Committee, Governor Hope Uzodinma,of Imo State, said Ize-Iyamu scored a total number of 27, 838 votes to defeat former Deputy Governor under Oshiomhole, Dr Pius Odubu (3, 766), and Osaro Obazee (2,751).

To install Ize-Iyamu, it is strongly believed, was one of the reasons Governor Godwin Obaseki was disqualified during screening.

In 2016, Obaseki defeated Ize-Iyamu.
