Labour Party (LP) Edo State Gubanatorial Aspirant, Prince Tom Iseghohi has withdrawn from the party primaries, citing transparency concerns and the monetization of the process at the expense of credibility.
Iseghohi announced this in a letter to Julius Abure, the party chairman, on Friday, stating that the election process went against his moral compass and that is why he decided to resign.
The letter titled “Withdrawal From The Gubernatorial Primaries” read: “Dear Sir,
“I have observed with keen interest the process that is being utilized to nominate the gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party. As a participant in the process, I am disappointed by the lack of transparency and the monetization of the process at the expense of selection of the best candidate with the popularity within the party and the capacity to win the general elections. This is at variance with my personal value system, that of my political family and the interest of the people of Edo State.
“Consequently, after consultations with my mentors, advisers, my team and my family, I hereby withdraw from the nomination process in the Labour Party.
“I am grateful for your attention to this urgent matter and look forward to your prompt and decisive action.”
