Clem Aziegbemi, who also served as a spokesperson to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP candidate in the forthcoming governorship election, Mr Asue Ighodalo has alao resigned from the position.
A relation of Dr Tony Aziegbemi, PDP Chairman in Edo State, Clem Aziegbemi has furthermire dumped the PDP.
His triple resignations came on a day that another party chieftain, Martins Ighekpe, released his letter of resignation from the PDP in Edo State.
In a letter to his ward chairman, PDP Ward 5, Esan South East Local Government Area, Aziegbemi said he resigned because of the crisis in the state chapter of the PDP.
He said the crisis had been worsened by the willingness of Ighodalo to walk with new fellows outside those who worked for his emergence as candidate.
Read Aziegbemi: “The cause of this massive defection of members from the PDP is largely due to the conquest attitude of of the Partly Leadership that lacks inclusivity of members into appointment in the State which the party loyalists worked for, yet they were abandoned for new entrants.
“The old PDP members, which I belong to have suffered a great deal in the hands of the party leadership and those in government.
“Both the Governor and the Party’s candidate have failed to address these issues begging for attention .
“With this ugly development still persisting, it will be very difficult for the party to win any Local Government in the September 21st, 2024 Governorship election in Edo State.
“Another disturbing issue is the seeming hijack of the PDP governorship candidate by a gang of political jobbers, as against those of us who laboured for him to emerge as candidate of the Party.
“Kindly consider this as my resignation from every party responsibility, including my position as one of the spokepersons to the governorship candidate.
“Also this serves as a formal resignation as a Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Edo State, His Excellency Godwin Obaseki.
