Edo State Commissioner for Minerals, Oil, and Gas Joseph Ikpea has resigned his appointment just 10 days to the September 19 governorship polls.
Mr Ikpea announced his resignation on Wednesday in a letter to the governor Godwin Obaseki.
Part of the letter read: “Politics is all about interest, trust, and respect for one another, but I have never seen any of this till date, and I am also not sure of it even if I remain there till tomorrow.
“Moreover, the party that is known today as APC was brought to Esan South East by me and over 90 per cent 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.”
Commissioner for Communication and Orientation Paul Ohonbamu had resigned in June while that of environment and sustainability Omoua Oni-Okpaku resigned in July.
