Resignation
By Nefishetu Yakubu
Benin, June 11, 2024 (NAN) The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo says it has accepted the resignation of Chief Francis Inegbeniki from his position as the state Vice-Chairman, Edo Central.
In a statement issued in Benin on Tuesday by the state party chairman, Jarrett Tenebe, APC respected his decision and wished him well in his future political endeavours.
Tenebe noted that Inegbeniki had been a loyal and dedicated member of APC since its inception.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Inegbeniki resigned from his vice-chairmanship and membership positions on Friday.
He cited the recent developments in the local and state chapters of the party as conflicting with his principles and values.
Meanwhile, Tenebe added that Inegbeniki worked tirelessly to promote the ideals of the APC and advance the interests of members and supporters across the state.
“His contributions to the growth and development of the party cannot be overstated, and we are grateful for the time he spent with us,” he said.
He, however, said APC must now look forward to the future by focusing efforts on liberating the state from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government.
According to him, the people of Edo and the APC are ready for change.
The chairman said that APC remained the only party committed to delivering the change desperately needed by the state.
“Our party’s candidate, Sen. Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Hon. Dennis Idahosa, will lead the joint push to rescue and return the state to Edo people.
“Both federal legislators come with a bold and ambitious five-point agenda that will prioritize infrastructure development and the empowerment of our people that the PDP has since neglected.
“The determination to build a better future for our state, one that will guarantee prosperity, security, and opportunity for all, has whet APC’s desire to liberate Edo State,” he said.
He, therefore, called on all APC members and supporters in and outside Edo to remain steadfast and committed to the party.
“We must work together to mobilize our communities, engage with our fellow citizens, and spread the message of hope and change that the APC represents,” he said. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
