Speaking on his exit from the party, Obaseki declared his commitment to continue to fight in the interest of citizens in the state.

He said, “I have officially resigned my membership of the All Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg) after meeting with the CoS to @MBuhari.”

“We shall continue the battle to protect the interest of Edo people and sustain good governance in the state.”
