APC demand Governor Obaseki's Immediate Resignation.

Less than two months after he was sworn into office. the Edo State Caretaker Committee
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC. Colonel David Imuse, has called for the immediate resignation, from the office of Governor Godwin Obaseki, because he appears, to have run out of ideas, about how to govern the state.

In a statement, Colonel Imuse, said the call has become necessary because the Governor, is failing in his duty of protecting the lives of Eldo people. he has shown gross disregard for the rule of law, and his personal interest is clashing with his official interest.

He listed Governor Obaseki's failure, to uphold his oath of office to protect the lives and properties of Edo citizens. his penchant for disobeying court orders, and his decision to plunge Edo state, into more indebtedness. with his recent clandestine borrowing of 25billion naira. from the capital market, as the reasons for his call.

The APC chairman said, "No one is safe in Edo state. The state is under siege. We have a governor who has lost focus.

Colonel Imuse, added that today Eldo state has a governor. who does not have any form of respect for the judicial and legislative arms of government, or the rule of law. Although he regularly runs to the courts, on the most frivolous of excuses.

He said, "A court recently ruled that the duly elected chairman, of Etsako East Local Government Council. who was illegally removed from office should go back to his seat. But the Governor, in disobedience of the Court. mobilised thugs to seal up the entrance of the Council Secretariat. denying the Chairman access".

"Because Edo state is designed, to be governed by relevant laws". The chairman added that "Edo APC is ready to take the bull by the horns. as it can no longer condone a governor, who has no regard for the rule of law".

The Edo APC Chairman, who also blamed Governor Obaseki. for making Edo state, the third most indebted state in the country, wondered why he would clandestinely resort to borrowing, the sum of 25billion naira, from the capital market without telling Edo people, why and what it will be used for.

"This loan is unacceptable to Edo people, and Governor Obaseki must urgently return it. or cancel it outright, because it is to be repaid by Edo taxpayers and to make matters worse, his own company, Afrin-vest is the stockbroker for the facility. This action of the governor is not only illegal, there is a clash of interest".
