In a resignation letter dated March 2, 2026 and uploaded on his handle on Wednesday, the aide said his decision followed consultations and the need to fully pursue his ambition to represent Ughelli South Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly.
“With utmost respect and a heavy but hopeful heart, I write to formally tender my resignation as Executive Assistant to the Governor of Delta State.
“This decision comes after deep reflection, prayers, and consultation with my family and political leaders.
“Following the revised timetable released by the Independent National Electoral Commission, the political process has accelerated, and the demands of my aspiration to represent the good people of Ughelli South Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly now require my full presence and dedication,” he stated.
Samson described his time in the administration as a privilege, appreciating the governor for the opportunity to serve and for the leadership lessons gained.
“Serving in your administration has been one of the greatest honours of my public life. The trust you reposed in me, the access, guidance, and leadership lessons I have received under you are privileges I will forever cherish. I do not take them lightly,” he added.
He noted that stepping aside was necessary to avoid any conflict between his official duties and political ambition, while pledging continued loyalty to the governor.
“It is in the spirit of loyalty, transparency, and respect for your office that I choose to step aside at this time, so that my political pursuit will in no way conflict with my duties or bring any discomfort to your administration.
“I remain your son and loyal supporter, deeply grateful for your confidence and kindness. I humbly seek your understanding and fatherly blessings as I take this next step in service to our people,” the letter read.
The development comes days after Oborevwori directed all political appointees intending to contest elective positions in the 2027 general elections to resign on or before March 31, 2026.
The directive, disclosed in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Kingsley Eze Emu, said the move was in line with Section 88(1) of the Electoral Act, 2026, and the timetable issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission for party primaries.
