Edo APC seeks Governor Obaseki’s resignation

The chairman of the Edo State All Progressive Congress, Col David Imuse (rted.), has called on Governor Godwin Obaseki to resign from office.

The APC Chairman was reacting to the governor’s declaration on Friday that governance will take backstage as the emphasis will now be on campaign activities.

Imuse also said that Obaseki’s resignation would give the Independent National Electoral Commission the opportunity to prepare for a fresh governorship election in the state.

The party Chairman who had in the past lamented the collapse of governance in Edo, said his renewed call was in tandem with the fears of many people, that governance in the state has finally come to a halt.

The Edo APC chairman said it was funny that the statement came from Governor Obaseki that governance in the state henceforth will take the back seat while he gallivants, campaigning for the presidential candidate of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.

Imuse said that even before this, Edo people were aware that Obaseki has run out of ideas since he was sworn in for a second term in office.

“This goes to confirm our conclusion that Edo State today is not a democracy but a dictatorship with Mr. Godwin Obaseki as the Executive, the legislature and the Judiciary, hence our call for the governor to resign with immediate effect,” he concluded.
