Edo State Government has reacted to the state of the nation address of the state PDP Caretaker Committee Chairman, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi earlier on Tuesday.
In a statement signed by Fred Itua, the Chief Press Secretary(CPS) to Governor Monday Okpebholo, he said: “The PDP-led heist in Edo State will be exposed. Governor Okpebholo-led administration will expose the atrocities of Obaseki and the factional PDP. No amount of blackmail will stop the Okpebholo-led administration from recovering the commonwealth of the people from a few dubious men.”
According to Itua, “the factional chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in Edo State is yet to accept the clear reality that it has assumed the arduous role of an opposition party.
“The depleted and disorganised party ought to be apologising to Edo people for mismanaging their resources, denigrating revered traditional institutions, and allocating the commonwealth to a few insatiable criminals.”
He averred that Governor Okpebholo “is in a hurry to develop Edo State. Since his inauguration a fortnight ago, he has remained undaunted, living up to the people’s expectations.
“Barely one week in office, he addressed and solved what the Godwin Obaseki-led administration could not confront in eight years. He has banned activities of touts across various markets in Edo State, hired by the Obaseki-led administration.
“Governor Okpebholo has confronted and solved the hydra-headed cult clashes in Benin City and has stopped illegal revenue collections as well. He has flagged off the first flyover bridge in Edo State and is addressing key and challenging problems deliberately packaged by the Obaseki administration.”
Going further, he said: “The PDP and Obaseki are worried that the public will be dazed when details of the atrocities he supervised as governor are unearthed. Unfortunately, the Okpebholo-led administration owes it to Edo people to expose the PDP and Obaseki.
“Today, it is on record that the Obaseki-led heinous administration dubiously dolled out almost 500 Government-owned vehicles to his cronies and allies.”
