Recently the rally which was organised to welcome Ize-Iyamu to the APC was stopped by Governor Godwin Obaseki who ordered a ban on all such political activities in the state. It was speculated that the Edo governor made the moves to forestall the possibility of Ize-Iyamu contesting the governorship ticket with him after joining the ruling party. Ize-Iyamu's recent statement that the crisis rocking the party will end with the nomination of a governorship candidate for this year’s election in the state also lends credence to the speculations of his interest in the governorship seat. In his reaction, presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi, described the speculations of Ize-Iyamu's interest as an indication of "the principle of impermanence" in politics. "The PDP candidate Godwin Obaseki defeated in the 2016 Edo Governorship elections is now going to be challenging him for the APC Governorship ticket in 2020. That’s politics for you. If you can’t acknowledge this principle of impermanence you have no business in politics. Selah," Ogunlesi tweeted.
