Agbonayinma Resigns from APC, Cites Undemocratic Practices

Agbonayinma, a former member of the House of Representatives, announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) during a press briefing. He cited several reasons for his departure, including a perceived lack of respect from the leadership in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area and allegations of marginalization in Edo South political appointments.

Agbonayinma described the internal dynamics of the APC as undemocratic, stating that certain individuals worked against the party during elections and influenced decisions within the party. He expressed deep distress over the party's gradual transformation into a property of a few individuals.

Despite his resignation, Agbonayinma emphasized his commitment to public service and democratic values in Edo State, indicating that he would soon reveal his new political platform for the next general elections. His exit from the APC is expected to surprise stakeholders, given his strong influence in Ikpoba Okha and his vocal support for the governor's administration.
