A former governorship aspirant in Edo State, Dr. Don-Pedro Obaseki has accused the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of plagiarising his campaign manifesto, the SIMPLE agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obaseki, who is the Convener, Midwest Movement, in a statement on Thursday titled, \u2018Pedro Obaseki insists Ize-Iyamu<\/a> stole SIMPLE Agenda,\u2019 vowed to retrieve the intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, he first publicly unveiled the SIMPLE agenda in August 2015 during a live programme on BENTV UK, where he presented his six-pronged campaign manifesto as an aspirant in the 2016 governorship election in Edo State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cMy SIMPLE idea is an acronym for Security and Social Welfare; Infrastructural Development and Urban Renewal; Manpower Development and Training; Public-Private Partnership; Leadership by Example and Employment for Edo Youths. This is the same as what the pastor and his followers are parading online today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, I state categorically that I would be commencing processes for retrieving my intellectual property, as it is obvious that the idea did not originate from those who are pushing on with it today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be recalled that Ize-Iyamu on Monday unveiled his six-point programme of action for the state tagged SIMPLE agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
