Speaking on their travails during time spent in Obaseki’s Led-Administration Prince Odigie said Governor Obaseki is intent on Scorching Edo state off all Budgetary Allocations and Funds.
Odigie said that Governor Obaseki Administration is Congested of discordant Even for those who voted him into office.
“Which Esan person has he empowered in his government or given relevance? All his promises to the people have gone unfulfilled. Instead of focusing on governance, he is doing everything to bring every Edo person down. The people of Esan can see through the ruse and deception,” he said.
Osamwonyi Atu of Orhionmwon, while also also speaking in his ordeal said that the under development of the state is a cause for worry as Obaseki negligence as denigrated Edo state Status as a top Oil producing state.
Rilwanu Oshiomhole of Edo North on his ordeal stated that The Governor’s Lack of focusing on good governance has been his biggest fatal flaw.
Ize-Iyamu said their departure from Obaseki’s administration is a “milestone in the journey to move Edo state forward.
He said; “I salute the courage of these men who heeded the call of their conscience and placed their integrity over office to resign from a government that is insincere, fraudulent, and deceitful.”
“I know that in their usual practice of castigating and smearing the image of people not supportive of their plan to foist themselves on the State for another term, the State Government will likely commence the spread of baseless reports claiming that these men were induced to make the decision they made.”
“But as they can testify to everyone here, this is the first time I am meeting with them in a long while. Their decision to resign was made on their own accord based on their integrity and unwillingness to be a part of a government without profitable plans for their people.”
“I thank Prince Emmanuel Odigie for the revelations he has made today, especially on the deceitful ‘Esan agenda’ that the incumbent is bandying. A governor that does not respect the Esan people or empower them, is that the Governor who will hand over power to them?”
