Festus Agas, the Chief of Staff to Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, and seven other commissioners have resigned from the State Executive Council.
The seven commissioners are Basil Ganagana, Evelyn Oboro, Julius Egbedi, Jonathan Ukodhiko, Christian Onogba, Ovie Oghoore and Chika Ossai.
It was gathered that their resignation may not be unconnected to the requirement of Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act 2022, which says political appointees must resign the appointments before participating in the 2023 general elections, either as delegates or seeking elective offices.
However, Agas On Friday said that he was yet to resign from his position.
Okowa had last week ordered his cabinet members who have political ambitions to resign their appointment.
