Adams Oshiomhole, Edo state governor, says Osagie Ize-Iyamu, a pastor and governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), will be jailed before he can get a chance to probe him.

Speaking on Saturday during an All Progressive Congress rally in Fugar, Oshiomhole noted that he found it funny that Ize-Iyamu was planning to probe him “when he cannot win his ward”.

“Ize-Iyamu will first of all vomit the N1.2billion he shared with Dan Orbih, which is money meant for defence that he collected from Fidelity Bank. After that, he will go to jail before he can probe me,” Oshiomhole said.

“Ize-Iyamu, Orbih and their fathers have confessed that they collected N700miilion and N500million to share during the election. They go to Port Harcourt every day to visit EFCC. Dan Orbih was taken from Port Harcourt to Benin with a Black Maria where his house was searched.

“Today they are living in fear. But they must return the money. Look at the company between Ize-Iyamu and Orbih, now they are singing like witches in the night how they shared that money.

“But they must be prosecuted like Metuh and others because that was how they stole in Edo for 10 years. That money they shared was meant for Defence, for roads. For 10, years they ruined the state but in seven and half years we have worked.

“So I laugh when he says he will probe. How can he even come in when he cannot win his ward? Edo people cannot vote for thieves at all so I wonder how he is going to probe me and that is why I said it is funny.”
