Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has sidestepped disorder across key sectors of governance, assuring that the government is very much on course.
The Governor spokesman, Crusoe Osagie on Saturday in a statement, urge the public to disregard fake news regarding purported shutdown of Government House.
He said, “As against the false insinuations in the report, the Governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, was at Ewatto, Esan South East Local Government Area, for the groundbreaking ceremony at the Jesuit University on Wednesday.
“On Thursday, the Governor presided over Executive Council (EXCO) meeting, which had Special Advisers and Commissioners in attendance.
The statement said, “Government warns detractors and mischief makers to desist from spreading false statements targeted at undermining Government”, he said.
Obaseki clarified that the Government is committed to the good and welfare of the good people of Edo State.
This followed accusations by some Nigerians that the Governor has put his statutory duties on hibernation mode in protest over the outcome of Saturday September 21st Edo governorship election that was perceived by some Nigerians to have been rigged by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
In addition, Public works and other ancillary services have been on suspension. But, revenue collection, payment of taxes, rates by Local Government Councils and the State daily, including weekends and public holidays have not ceased.
TheNewspad recalls that Asue Ighodalo, Obaseki’s preferred Peoples Democratic Party Candidate in in election lost to the Candidate of All Progressives Congress in the election.
