A former Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Social gathering, PDP, in Edo State, Chris Nehikhare, has mentioned that former Governor Godwin Obaseki is not on the run and stays ready to reply to any inquiries from anti-corruption agencies if required.
He made the assertion on Tuesday in Benin whereas responding to questions from journalists.
Nehikhare famous that the former governor is giving his successor, Monday Okpebholo, the “area and alternative to show his value to the individuals of the state.”
He mentioned, “Former Governor Obaseki’s presence in Edo would make Governor Okpebholo’s administration uneasy, as Obaseki does not need him to be always in contrast to his personal robust efficiency in workplace.
“He’s not on the run, and if anyone desires him, together with the EFCC, ICPC and others, they’ll write to him and he would reply to no matter they need.
“Obaseki is doing his fellowship in a international college, and there’s a authorities in place in Edo. His efficiency is not comparable to Okpebholo’s work now.
“Governor Obaseki is not coming again to Benin to run for Senate or every other place like different previous governors. He has served at the highest stage of governance in Edo, and it’s that honour he would proceed to preserve.”
Nehikhare urged Edo residents to disregard the fixed criticisms from the All Progressives Congress, APC, which he mentioned continues to blame Obaseki day by day, noting that the former governor made important contributions to the state’s growth.
