Barely 10 days to the governorship election in Edo State, another member of Governor Godwin Obaseki’s executive dumps him and decamps to APC.
Joseph Ikpea, the Commissioner in charge of the Minerals, Oil and Gas ministry, tendered his resignation letter on Wednesday, September 9.
In his resignation letter addressed to Governor Obaseki, Ikpea cited his reasons for the resignation.
In the letter, he said he is unable to abandon the party (All Progressives Congress) he has helped to nurture in his council area and the state in general.
He stated, “Politics is all about interest, trust and respect for one another, but I have never seen any of this till date, and I am also not sure of it even if I am there tomorrow.
“Moreover, the party that is known today as APC was brought to Esan South East by me and over 90 percent of my supporters are APC members till date.
“So, it is difficult for me to leave the house that I built. Considering also that this administration didn’t recognise my leadership role.”
