The commissioner for Environment and Sustainability. Edo State, Mrs. Omoua Oni-Okpaku, has resigned from Governor Godwin Obaseki’s government. Oni-Okpaku who is from the Owan (Afenmai) axis of Edo North of the state, where former national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, hails from, tendered her resignation letter which is yet to be made public.
A top government official who did not want to be named, confirmed Oni-Okpaku’s resignation. He however added that they have been doubting her total commitment to the government.
“I am also just hearing that, but in recent times we have been noticing her non-committal attitude to this government.”
Oni-Okpaku joined the growing list of top members of the Obaseki-led Executive Council, who had resigned, after Obaseki switched to the PDP. First to throw in the towel was Obaseki’s Chief of Staff, Mr. Taiwo Akerele, followed by the then Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Paul Ohonbamu. Ohanbamu said yesterday that he is working for Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, the APC governorship candidate.
Also, several Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants have resigned in the past few weeks, as they declined to follow Obaseki to the PDP.
