Ize-Iyamu defected to APC due to the misunderstanding between Godwin Obaseki, and Adams Oshiomhole. It will be recalled that Godwin Obaseki had a long battle with Adams Oshiomhole. He linked their disagreement to the fact that Adams Oshiomhole preferred Ize-Iyamu over him.

Reportedly, Oshiomhole wanted Ize-Iyamu to win the partyā€™s primary. Hence, he deviced every means to take him out of the polls.

News filtered that Godwin Obaseki had no educational background to become a governor. His certificate attracted public criticisms. He was later disqualified by the All Progressives Congress.

His disqualification made him to defect to the Peopleā€™s Democratic Party. However, Adams Oshiomhole has been suspended as the national chairman of the APC.
