In their letters, the aides expressed dissatisfaction over salary issues and marginalization within the party. Emenya and Edo-Osagie, both key figures in their respective wards, cited unpaid salaries and lack of recognition for the party’s aboriginal members as reasons for their departure.
Dr. Archer also raised concerns about the lack of inclusiveness in the council’s decision-making process, which she said hindered effective governance.
She emphasized that her decision to resign was driven by a desire for transparency and collaboration in governance, which she found lacking in her role.
All four expressed gratitude to the party leadership and the governor for the opportunity to serve, while calling attention to the need for a more equitable and inclusive political system in the state.
