Obaseki accepts SSG’s resignation, names replacement
The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has accepted the resignation of the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, and has appointed Joseph Eboigbe as the new SSG.
Ogie resigned on August 9, 2024, to concentrate on his political ambition. He is the running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Asue Ighodalo, in the September 21 election in the state.
Ogie said his resignation is in conformity with the electoral law, which mandates political appointees who want to contest elections to resign 30 days before the election.
In a statement on Monday, the Special Adviser to the governor on Media Project, Crusoe Osagie, said, “The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has accepted the resignation of the Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, who, in line with extant laws has stepped down from his position to pursue his ambition to run as the Deputy Governor of Edo State.
“The governor thanks Ogie for his commitment and loyalty to the vision of building a vibrant and prosperous State championed by his administration in the last seven years.
