The Deputy Governor of Edo State, Mr Philip Shaibu, has accused the deputy speaker of the state House of Assembly, Yekini Idiaye, of collecting N40m from the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, to the candidate of the party in the September 19 governorship election, Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

Addressing ers of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lampese, Akoko-Edo Local Government Areas, Shaibu alleged that Idiaye, who represents Akoko-Edo Constituency (I), and the member representing Akoko-Edo Constituency (II), Emmanuel Agbaje, were paid N40m each to influence their for Ize-Iyamu.

The deputy speaker and Agbaje had on Sunday pledged their for Ize-Iyamu.

All the 24 of the state House of Assembly are in the APC.

But Shaibu called on the people of Akoko-Edo LGA to ask their representatives at the state’s House of Assembly for their share of the N40m given to each of them by Oshiomhole.

He said, “The Speaker of the EDHA and all the principal officers are ing the governor while those that left demanded money which he declined because of the love and interest of Edo people.

Hon Agbaje and Hon. Yekini collected N40m each to throw their for Ize-Iyamu. Oshiomhole also gave N5m each to councilors to switch loyalty and the APC candidate.”

Reacting to the claims, the deputy speaker said, “I do not think that one will collect money to remain in his party. You only collect money to defect to other parties.”

In a related development, Shaibu in a statement on Tuesday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr Benjamin Atu, said Obaseki would continue to develop the state and ensure that opportunities were available to the people.

We Know That Politics Is A Big Busness In Nigeria. And Politicians Are Doing Great Business With Politics.

Revelation time. Only time will reveal the stupendous looting, bribery and corrutption that went on and is currently going on in this istration. Why do i care?. This government has pledged to stamp out corruption but what we are seeing the opposite. QED.

How much did Obaseki give PDP? Bunch of thieves.

It's like the Anti graft war doesn't include political parties

How much did Obaseki give PDP? Bunch of thieves.

can't you see from the revelation coming out from different probes that APC steal these days? also be guided that the big money that Oshiomole made from last year election is no where to be found because he pocketed all. the noise of Iyamu getting new convert each day is from these funds.

.shuaibu,u talk too much
Am sure u were part of the people that caused rift between oshiomole and obaseki.
Focus on ur campaign,and forget about who collect 40m
And besides the,I don't think oshiomole has that kind of money to give a single individual,he will rather use that money in buying votes

He collected the current exchange rate of 30 pieces of silver which Judas Iscariot collected then. So there's nothing shocking cos almost all Nigerian politicians can be bought. They even over priced this one.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
All these sway won't prevent obaseki From coasting to victory

So? If APC gave him 40 million naira, go and give him 40 million dollars. You must outspend and outwit your opponent. Sad as it may seem, this is the way our politics is structured.

So far, APC is leading in strategy while PDP seems lost how to approach the election.

APC collecting money from APC or what?

Both the governor and his deputy lack basic political ingredients. Unlike, Oshio-baba,Dan -Orbih, Ize-Iyamu...
