Hon. Pally Iriase is the Deputy Chief Whip of the House of Representatives and member representing Owan Federal Constituency of Edo State in the House. In this interview, Iriase says the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the September 10 governorship election in Edo, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, is no match for the APC candidate, Mr Godwin Obaseki.
