Barely ten days to the governorship election in Edo state, the Commissioner for Minerals, Oil and Gas, Mr Joseph Ikpea has announced his resignation as executive council member of Godwin Obaseki administration.
He announced the resignation in a letter dated September 9, 2020 and addressed to the governor.
The letter, which is with immediate effect read: “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 remain there till tomorrow.
“Moreover, the party that is known today as APC was brought to Esan South East by me and over 90 per cent 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.”
