Obaseki, who won last Saturday’s election convincingly, joined the PDP when he was denied the ticket by the former chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole.
Up till yesterday, Obaseki was on a thank-you-visit to PDP governors in the South South.
At a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Iyamu appealed to him to him to return.
“I am appealing to him to return to the party. In every family, there must be a disagreement.”
“Let it not be said that it was this disagreement that pushed him out of the party. I made the mistake before and I have come to realise that it was a grievous error and I would not want him as a senior brother to make the same,”
“In APC, he’s recognised as a leader but the new party he is, it will be difficult for them to accept him (Obaseki) as a leader”, Ize-Iyamu said.
He pledged to work with him.
“I am ready to work with him and all well-meaning Edo people. We believe that it is time we bring peace to our state, ” he said.
“We are going to talk to everybody, we will bring everybody back. I want to salute my brother, the governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki”, Ize-Iyamu told the press conference.
The APC candidate also had a closed-door meeting with his party’s caretaker chairman and governor of Yobe State, Mala Buni and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State in Abuja.
