There is a palpable tension in Esan West Local Government Area as members of the All Progressives Congress(APC) have sent a petition to Governor Monday Okpebholo through the Secretary to the State Government(SSG) over the list of commissioner nominees alleged to have been singlehandedly submitted by Hon. Thomas Okosun, Col David Imuse(rtd) and the party council chairman.
According to the leaders drawn from the ten wards of the local government who appended their signature in the petition, they complained that the list submitted is not a reflection of what they agreed on and an aberration from the tradition.
“The list submitted was done without the knowledge of or consulting with other leaders in the local government. And the names on the list are mainly relatives of the three ‘leaders’ which is the wife of the party chairman among others.
“We are calling on the governor to immediately discard the list and use his discretion to choose capable hands to stir the affairs of his government rather than relying on people without the know-how to contribute meaningfully to the success of his administration.”
Governor Okpebholo was officially sworn into office on Tuesday, November 12th, 2024.
