An Edo State pastor who doubled as a politician has died after he defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
Pastor Aimola John who joined former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu to defect to the APC, was confirmed dead shortly after he slumped.
The former chairmanship candidate for Owan East Local Governemt Area was said to have slumped at Ize-Iyamu’s residence and was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital he was rushed to.
Pastor Aimola defected to the PDP from the APC in 2015, but is reportedly one of those returning to the APC ahead of the State’s Governorship election in 2020.
