The All Progressives Congress (APC) Esan North East Local Government Chapter has issued a strong statement demanding the immediate removal of Rt. Hon. Matthew Egbadon from the Edo State Transition Committee. The party’s executive members and entire membership are outraged by Egbadon’s inclusion, citing it as a direct undermining of the party’s principles and values.
Egbadon, a known member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has openly supported and financed PDP candidates, working against the APC in the last general election and September 21 governorship election. The APC views his appointment as a betrayal of trust and a disregard for the party’s integrity.
The APC is urging Governor-elect Sen. Monday Okpebholo to reconsider Egbadon’s appointment, emphasizing the need for consultations and verification to prevent similar embarrassments in the future. This development highlights the complexities of party politics in Edo State, where the APC and PDP have historically been at odds.
The controversy surrounding Egbadon’s appointment has sparked debate about party loyalty, integrity, and the transition process in Edo State.
