Edo Govt Decries Okpebholo’s Resignation Call

The Edo State government has criticised one Samson Isibor, describing him as a self-serving figure presiding over a “non-existent” and “amorphous” organisation.

This followed a statement by Isibor calling for the resignation of Governor Monday Okpebholo over alleged failure to address rising hardship and cost of living in the state.

The commissioner for information, Prince Kassim Afegbua, in a statement accused Isibor who says he is the national chairman of the Coalition of Registered Political Parties (CRPP) of running an outfit for nearly two decades without meaningful political impact.

Afegbua questioned the legitimacy of the CRPP under Isibor and his long standing leadership.

“Dr. Samson Isibor has remained a perpetual chairman of an organisation that, in reality, does not exist. It is an amorphous, ‘chop-chop’ platform he has personalized for selfish gains over the past eighteen years,” Afegbua said.

“Rather than contribute meaningfully to political inclusion and democratic growth, he has chosen to entrench himself in a structure defined by parochialism and self-perpetuation,” he added.
