GWG.ng reports that Ogie was mum on the reason Obaseki sacked the health commissioner.

However, Governor Obaseki while speaking during the inspection work on the State Hospital still under construction in Benin City cited the failure of the commissioner to keep pace with his determination to finish strong as reason why he was sacked.

Obaseki said that the sacked commissioner was unable to process a document to have allowed those furnishing the hospital to move to site despite having received the said document since July 4.
