Leaders of the Edo State chapter of the All Progressives’ Congress has called in Governor Monday Okpebholo to consider the immediate redeployment of Godwin Obaseki, his immediate predecessor, who are still working in the Government House.
The leaders warned that working closely with this set of workers could pose injuries and hazards to Okpebholo’s administration
Momodu Adams, the spokesman for the Edo APC leaders made this known in a statement released to newsmen in Abuja.
According to him, the call is necessary in the wake of official memo leakage that occurred in the government house. He noted that the governor cannot afford to leave sensitive and important documents in the possession and care of certain staff.
Adam argued that a vast majority of the civil servants in the current administration still maintain close ties to Obaseki’s apron.
He said, “APC leaders are worried about the development because some persons are leaking official documents in their possession to PDP leaders, especially Ogie and Asue Ighodalo, who are trying to upturn the victory of Governor Okpebholo at the Tribunal.
“If something urgent is not done, who knows what will happen next?
“About 98 per cent of the staff who worked in Government House during Obaseki’s administration, including the protocol officers and those who serve tea, are still in Okpebholo’s administration. We are worried. People hide or sit on files meant for the Governor.
“We understand that media houses and journalists in Edo State are losing patience with Governor Okpebholo’s administration. When the media starts its war with the new administration, it will mess up everything.”
