Resignation Wave Hits Edo: Former Governor Aspirants Depart PDP, APC

In Benin City, Dr. Felix Akhabue, a former gubernatorial aspirant under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, tendered his resignation from the party, citing prejudice within its leadership. Simultaneously, Dr. Victoria Amu, another ex-gubernatorial hopeful affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC), announced her departure from the party, attributing her decision to personal and familial considerations.

Akhabue’s resignation, conveyed in a letter addressed to the PDP’s Ward 7 Chairman in Esan West Local Government Area and copied to various party echelons including the National Working Committee, delineated his discontent with what he perceived as biased treatment impeding his equitable and sustained involvement within the party. Expressing gratitude to steadfast allies within the party, Akhabue bid farewell to his tenure within its ranks.

Similarly, Dr. Victoria Amu penned her resignation missive to the APC’s Ward 4 Chairman in Owan West Local Government Area, outlining her exit from the party due to personal and familial obligations. Reflecting on her previous roles within the APC, including serving as SSA on Social Mobilization under Adams Oshiomhole and Governor Godwin Obaseki, Amu emphasized her appreciation for the opportunities afforded by the party. She urged understanding from her supporters and well-wishers as she embarked on a new chapter in her journey.
