Edo Poll: NBA Chairman urges support for Ize-Iyamu
Mr Pius Oiwoh, Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Benin Branch, has urged members of the association to support Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the Sept. 19, Edo governorship election.
Oiwoh made the call on Tuesday when Ize-Iyamu visited members of the association to sell his SIMPLE agenda manifesto as well as solicit their support.
The Chairman said that the APC candidate was a member of the bar association and needed support from its members.
“Ize-Iyamu is one of us, he has been supportive of our activities so we should give him our support.”
He also appealed to the APC candidate to look into the employment issue of legal assistants as well as financial autonomy for the judiciary if elected governor.
In his remarks, Ize-Iyamu said he would have respect for the separation of powers if elected governor of Edo.
“We will obey financial autonomy for the judiciary and tackle the issue surrounding the employment of legal assistants.”
He said that with his SIMPLE agenda, Edo would experience transformation and development.
“With my SIMPLE agenda, we will have a public private parrnership arrangement that will bring Edo back to life.
“We need to revive Ewu Flour Mill, leventis farms, and other investments in the state that have become moribund.
“I believe in local patronage and we will patronise our local people to develop our state.”
He accused Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo of drifting away from the executive arm and controlling activities in the Legislature. (NAN)

The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Uche Nnaji, has resigned from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet amid a growing controversy surrounding his academic credentials.
Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga confirmed Nnaji’s resignation in a statement issued late Tuesday.
Nnaji’s exit follows mounting allegations that his academic certificates were forged. Investigations revealed that the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), disowned the Bachelor of Science degree he claimed to possess, stating that he never completed his studies at the institution and was therefore not issued any certificate.
According to UNN Vice-Chancellor Prof. Simon U. Ortuanya, Nnaji was admitted in 1981 but failed to meet the requirements for graduation.
In a related development, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) reportedly disowned the certificate of national service presented by Nnaji, describing it as fake.
His resignation marks the latest in a series of controversies to hit the Tinubu administration over questions of integrity and accountability among public officials.
