“This decision is stemmed from the alienation of majority of my constituents and supporters by the state government under Governor Godwin Obaseki from activities and programmes of the party and government of the state.
“As if that is not enough, the party’s candidate has declared that he will continue in the governor’s principle should he win the September election, other reasons are those personal to me.
