Joseph Ikpea Resigns As Edo Commissioner For Minerals, Oil And Gas by joelbooks(op): 4:47pm On Sep 09, 2020
Barely 10 d‎ays to the Edo State governorship election, the state Commissioner for Minerals, Oil and Gas, Mr Joseph Ikpea‎, yesterday, resigned his appointment from the cabinet of Governor Godwin Obaseki.‎

In his letter of resignation, dated September 9 and addressed to the governor, Ikpea cited reason of trust, respect and interest for his resignation.

Besides, he said he cannot abandon the All Progressives Congress (APC) he has helped to nurture in his council area and the state in general.

“Politics is all about interest, trust and respect for one another, but I have never seen any of this till date, and am also not sure of it even if I am there till tomorrow.

“Moreover, the party that is known today as APC was brought to Esan South East by me and over 90 percent 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”, he said.
Ikpea, however, said he would always be available to provide support to the government whenever called upon to do so.

Recall that two Commissioners had earlier resigned their appointments from the Obaseki’s government to support the candidate of the APC, Mr Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

Obaseki is really a very kind man.
All these ppl resigning are Oshiomole's nominees,yet he is painting a picture of Obaseki being ungrateful.

Even if Deputy Governor Shaibu decamp to APC tomorrow. Obaseki will still win.

Who doesn't know Ikpea is an ass-licker of Oshiomole. Never knew he was still a commissioner till date.

It's clear to everyone that people leading don't care about you.

It's about their pocket and what comes to them.

I hope APC will keep to their promises to all these people decamping anyhow as this is one of the many reasons Governance becomes too expensive.

The moment they lose EDO State(which they will) they will be appointed into Boards of Federal institutions and the merry go round of stealing and ill governance continues

From what I saw in Benin and the interactions I had with the residents, there is absolutely no way Ize-Iyamu can win the forthcoming elections without manipulations.

Any persons supporting APC is personally responsible for Nigeria's doom.
Re: Joseph Ikpea Resigns As Edo Commissioner For Minerals, Oil And Gas by solutionist: 5:35pm On Sep 09, 2020
I must admit that the APC/Ize-Iyamu social media/Nairaland team is doing a great job of posting anti-Obaseki news.

I just got into Lagos from Benin, where I spent about 5 days.

From what I saw in Benin and the interactions I had with the residents, there is absolutely no way Ize-Iyamu can win the forthcoming elections without manipulations.

The news that the APC team keeps posting on Nairaland is effective to make their followers to feel good, however, it is no reflection of the reality in Edo State.
