EX-LAWMAKER DUMPS APC IN EDO
Barely 19 days before the September 21 governorship election, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and a lawmaker who represented Akoko-Edo II in the state House of Assembly from 2015 to 2023, Emmanuel Agbaje, has dumped the party.
In a letter to his Ward 10 chairman in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area dated September 2, 2024, Agbaje complained of alienation and alleged sidelining in the scheme of things in the party and his ward.
Agbaje was the only APC lawmaker in the state House of Assembly besides the 14 that were not inaugurated in 2019.
He did not defect with Governor Godwin Obaseki from the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2020 governorship election and it was gathered that from that time till his tenure ended, he was denied all entitlements as a lawmaker except his monthly salary.
It was gathered that he was not also consulted when the APC governorship campaign council was being constituted as members who were then in the PDP in his ward were made members of the council without consulting him.
