Gov. Obaseki’s Senior Aides Resign, Cite Unpaid Salaries
Just 12 days before the governorship election in Edo State, four Senior Special Assistants to Governor Godwin Obaseki have resigned from their positions and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The resignation letters, dated September 4 and September 6, 2024, were addressed to the party’s local government chairman and their respective ward chairmen.
The resigning aides are Osayande Emenya (Ward 6, Oredo Local Government), Henry Osaheni Ukato (Ward 6, Oredo Local Government), Efosa Edo-Osagie (Ward 6, Oredo Local Government), and Timothy Edokpolor (Ward 8, Ikpoba Okha Local Government).
The aides cited non-payment of salaries since their appointments as their primary reason for resigning. They also complained about the alleged marginalisation of original party members, stating, “We are resigning from the party based on the principles of equity, fairness, and justice, which are no longer upheld at the ward levels, coupled with the marginalisation of the original PDP members who have sustained the party.”
However, the aides did not disclose their future political affiliations.
