The Edo State Government has rejected allegations by the state chapter of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, who accused it of engaging in provocative and destructive politics against former Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Prince Afegbua, countered the claims, describing them as “laughable” and rooted in frustration, saying that the PDP had no moral basis to criticize the current administration.
Afegbua also alleged that the former governor fractured the once-united party into splinter groups, after using its platform to secure re-election, adding that residents struggle to navigate roads left in disrepair by the Obaseki administration.
He further said that the Monday Okpebholo-led government has begun addressing Edo’s decayed infrastructure, despite protests from some quarters.
