According to the leaders drawn from the ten wards of Esan West LGA who appended their signatures in the petition complained that the list submitted is not a reflection of what they agreed and an aberration from the tradition.

According to leaders, “The list submitted was done without the knowledge or consulting 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 Governor Monday Okpebholo 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.”
