Governor Obaseki’s Special Adviser on Strategy Resigns Amid Political Turmoil
In a surprising turn of events, Mrs. Sarah Ajose-Adeogun, popularly known as Madam Sarah, has tendered her resignation as the Special Adviser on Strategy, Performance, and Project Monitoring to Edo Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Ajose-Adeogun, a former Senior Manager with the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC), made the announcement on her Facebook page, stating, “I came, I saw, and I conquered.” This confirmation of her resignation adds another layer to the ongoing political dynamics in the outgoing Obaseki-led government.
Sources indicate that the decision to step down may be linked to the internal power struggles and the intense battle for survival within the Obaseki administration.

The Chief of Staff to the Edo Governor, Osaigbovo Iyoha, had previously closed Ajose-Adeogun’s office after an alleged incident where she refused to give up her seat on a commercial flight to Governor Obaseki.

This development follows the resignation of Andrew Okungbowa, the former Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Obaseki, just over a month ago. The political landscape in Edo is currently marked by conflicts over succession, with Governor Obaseki and his Deputy, Comrade Philip Shaibu, at odds. Shaibu, eyeing Obaseki’s position, faces opposition from the Governor, who is reportedly supporting Lagos-based lawyer Asue Ighodalo.
Governor Obaseki is also entangled in a dispute with members of the PDP’s Legacy Coalition, led by Chief Dan Orbih, the National Vice Chairman, Southsouth. Orbih and the former Edo Chairman of PDP contend that Ighodalo is not the suitable successor to Obaseki.
