Edo National Voice (ENV) has commended Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, the three months statutory allocations of Benin Traditional Council(BTC) that he withheld.
In a statement signed by Mr. Iyamu Osaro Culture(President) and Comrade Collins Osaghae Amadin(Secretary General), the group said: “we are happy to announce that Mr. Governor has graciously approved the payment of the withheld three months statutory allocations and we want to thank Mr. Governor, Godwin Obaseki for listening to our agitations and taking the path of honour in ensuring that the error committed was reversed.
“Similarly, we want to also appreciate the Secretary to Edo State Government, Barrister Osarodion Ogie for the strategic role he played pertaining to the payment of the withheld BTC three months statutory allocations. We are indeed grateful.
“However, we will not stop calling on Governor Obaseki if there are burning issues in relation to the wellbeing of Edo people.”
It would be recalled that recently the ENV raised the alarm that three months statutory allocations to the BTC was being withheld by Governor Obaseki and appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the matter.
