PDP, Obaseki's Failure, Scams Revealed
By: Oriaifoh Godwins
As Governor Monday Okpebholo of Edo State, hit the ground running, one of the scams and showmanship of former governor Godwin Obaseki and his praise singers, has been exposed as the 7.5 kilometres Temboga road that was said to have been awarded since one year now is yet to be completed.
This was revealed in a Press Statement titled "Temboga Road: Shame on PDP, Obaseki" dated 17/11/2024, and signed by Fred Itua, the Chief Press Secretary to Edo state Governor.
Describing Obaseki's praise singers as "Retired politicians", the Press statement reads:
" Retired politician and idle factional publicity secretary of the depleted Peoples Democratic Party Caretaker Committee in Edo State, Chris Nehikhare, has again exposed one of the many failures of the Godwin Obaseki-led administration".
" We understand that the factional chapter of the depleted PDP is in a hurry to redeem itself. The PDP-led administration, for over one year, failed to complete a mere 7.5km road".
" The party is obviously pained that Governor Monday Okpebholo is in a hurry to complete some projects abandoned or poorly done by the Obaseki administration".
Continuing, the Press statement maintained that, Governor Okpebholo will not be distracted by retired politicians who are still chasing clouts and suffering from Post-Election Traumatic Disorder; adding that, Governor Okpebholo will continue to work for Edo people, provide critical infrastructure, and create economic opportunities for everyone.
As Governor Monday Okpebholo continue in delivering quality leadership and exemplary representation to the people of Edo state, more of the shady and cosmetic activities of the erstwhile MoU Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, government of Mr. Godwin Obaseki will hopefully come to the open.
