This was disclosed by Dr Anthony Aziegbemi, the caretaker committee chairman of the party in the State in a press conference titled, “State of the Nation Address”.
According to Aziegbemi, the money was given to political “godfathers” who worked for Okpebholo during the September 21, 2024, governorship election.
He further accused the APC-led government of not paying the state’s civil and public workers the November monthly salary, noted that the development was contrary to the record set by the former PDP-led government under the Governor Godwin Obaseki where the state’s workers received monthly salary on or before 26th of every month.
He also alleged that the APC-led government in the state had within two weeks in office procured over N5 billion worth of vehicles without a proper procurement process.
Aziegbemi, who further alleged that Governor Monday Okpebholo’s government was desperately looking for ways to pass entries for over N2 billion as inauguration costs, opined that the Edo State Procurement Act was at risk.
According to him, “for 8 years the PDP-led administration paid salaries on or before the 25th of every month, and as of today, they have not been able to pay November salaries even though the Obaseki-led PDP administration left over N30bn in the state coffers.
“What have they done with that money? They have filtered the money away and shared it with their godfathers for the roles they played in circumventing the will of the people
“We are aware that as we speak, nobody in the state has received any credit alert for the payment of November 2024 salary. The government of Godwin Obaseki paid salary 26th of every month
“Governor Okpebholo has procured over N5bn worth of vehicles without proper procurement process which has created a crisis to the extent that the Permanent Secretary Governor’s office is threatening civil servants in Central administration for refusing to accept vehicles due to improper documentation, while desperately looking for ways to pass entries for over N2bn of inauguration costs.”…READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE : …READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE
