Obaseki blasts Edo’s Okpebholo after allegations against him, Peter Obi

Former Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has criticized his successor, Monday Okpebholo, for the allegations against him and his predecessor, Peter Obi. In an interview ahead of his second year in office, Okpebholo accused Obaseki's administration of mismanaging state resources and claimed that Peter Obi brought thugs to Edo State during a visit to the capital, Benin.

Obaseki responded through a statement, stating that Okpebholo's allegations were mischievous attempts to divert public attention from his poor performance. The former governor emphasized that despite trillions of naira passing through the state's coffers during Okpebholo's administration, no tangible development achievements have been shown.

He encouraged Okpebholo to focus on delivering tangible dividends of democracy to the people of Edo State in the remaining two years of his term.
