Edo: After Stealing Mandate, Okpebholo Still Ignoring Me, Obaseki Laments

The outgoing governor of Edo State, Mr Godwin Obaseki has lamented being left out from the inauguration of his successor, Senator Monday Okpebholo who he has insisted stole the mandate.

Speaking to selected aides over what he complained as the All Progressives Congress, APC’s plan for the inauguration of Senator Okpebholo on Tuesday, Obaseki said:

“They stole the mandate, but we have laws. Somebody has to be sworn-in into a government that is already existing. You don’t just come from nowhere and start government. There is a way things are done. Isn’t it?

“Government of Edo State is inaugurating a new governor on Tuesday but what you are seeing now, all the posters, the Government of Edo State is not involved. It’s crazy when people behave the way they are doing as if there are no laws in the country. I just sit down sometimes and I am wondering, are we okay as a country? We are guided by the Constitution. We are guided by laws, precedence and procedures.

“They are doing inauguration and I as a governor does not know. I have not even been invited. So, it is as if they are starting a brand new state,” Obaseki said in fury over the plans for the inauguration of Okpebholo.
