Chief Francis Inegbeniki, the Uzoya of Esan land who, until his resignation yesterday from the party, was the state Vice Chairman of the party, said that he had to resign from the party as a result of what he described as some recent developments in his LGA and the state which he considered against his core values and principles adding that a political tsunami was about to happen in Edo as his exit from the party was going to be followed by so many other defectors .

This has led me to do a serious evaluation of my political future in Edo and decided on the way forward. 

"After due consultations with my family, friends and political associates, I wish to formally inform you of my decision to resign my membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and my role as the State Vice Chairman. It is a hard decision but it is the best in the interest of the good people of my Senatorial district. 

"I wish to formally thank the party for availing me the platform upon which I was the current party state Vice Chairman, However a lot needs to be done to reposition the party in Edo State . 

I thank all my teeming supporters and followers for their support and loyalty despite the challenges. Now, it is time to chart a new course for the good of all. . 

"To all my friends, brothers and sisters in the All Progressives Congress (APC), I wish you well and wish to let you know that we still remain what we are I cherish the relationship, and nothing can change it. I believe in the future of Nigeria. I believe in the renewed hope agenda: Together, we shall continue to work for the progress of our dear state, Edo and the country at large".
