However, this expulsion was not ratified by the State Working Committee.<\/p>\n<p>In his resignation letter dated June 8, 2024, and addressed to the chairman of Ward 9, Opoji in Esan Central Local Government, the former state chairman of the party stated that he made this decision due to recent developments in the party in his local government area and state.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that these developments conflict with his core principles and values.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged that although the decision was difficult, it was in the best interest of the good people of his senatorial district.<\/p>\n<p>According to the letter: \u201cThere comes a time in the life of every man when some hard decisions must be taken not only in one\u2019s interest but in the general interest of his people. This is one of such moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter 25 years as an active, financial, and dedicated grassroots politician in Edo State, and as one of the founding fathers of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State, I believe that I have contributed my quota to the growth of the party in my ward, local government area, senatorial district, state, and our country, Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, some recent developments in the party in my LGA and state conflict with my core principles and values. This has led me to seriously evaluate my political future in Edo State and decide on the way forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter due consultations with my family, friends, and political associates, I wish to formally inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and my role as the State Vice Chairman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a hard decision, but it is the best in the interest of the good people of my senatorial district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish to formally thank the party for availing me the platform upon which I was elected the current party state vice chairman. However, a lot needs to be done to reposition the party in Edo State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thank all my supporters and followers for their support and loyalty despite the challenges. Now, it is time to chart a new course for the good of all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo all my friends, brothers, and sisters in the All Progressives Congress (APC), I wish you well and want you to know that we still remain what we are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cherish our relationship, and nothing can change it. I believe in the future of Nigeria, and I believe in the Renewed Hope agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTogether, we shall continue to work for the progress of our dear state, Edo, and the country at
