Edo APC Chieftain Agbonayinma Resigns, Cites Dictatorship

Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma, a former member of the House of Representatives representing Egor/Ikpoba Okha Federal Constituency from 2015 to 2019, announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benin City. He criticized the party's management in Edo State as undemocratic, alleging that it has been hijacked by a few individuals, specifically naming Adams Oshiomhole and Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the sole administrators.

Agbonayinma expressed his discontent with the party's practices, stating that it marginalizes members and operates in a dictatorial manner, particularly in local government areas. He emphasized that he could no longer remain in a party that does not empower its members or provide opportunities for better leadership.

His resignation was formally communicated to the chairman of the APC in Ikpoba Okha Ward 7. Agbonayinma also accused Oshiomhole of blocking appointments and failing to support qualified individuals from Edo North and South.
