Addressing a press conference in Benin City yesterday, state chairman of the party, Col David Imuse (rtd) accused Obaseki of turning the state into a personal empire and has “conveniently castrated the state legislature, emasculated the judiciary and operates the executive branch as the Sole Administrator.”
