In a statement, the governor’s Special Adviser on Media and Communication Strategy, Mr Crusoe Osagie, said Governor Obaseki’s resignation came as a result of his resolve to continue the battle to protect the resources of Edo people and sustain good governance in the state.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu has also resigned from the APC.
