September 22, (THEWILL) – The Edo State Government has debunked reports that Governor Godwin Obaseki has allocated the former office of the State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, to the Alaghodaro Summit.
A statement by Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, said the report was sponsored by some mischief makers to cause crisis in the State.
The statement reads: “The rumour making the rounds that an office in Government House has been designated for Alaghodaro Summit is false and unfounded. It is being peddled by mischief makers who are bent on causing tension in the state.
“These mischief makers are obviously being sponsored by some undesirable elements to cause crisis in the State. I repeat that there is no such thing as an office for Alaghodaro Summit in Government House.
“Alaghodaro Summit is not an agency or parastatal of the government and therefore has no need for an office in Government House. It is an organisation limited by guarantee working to attract private investment in the state.
“I advise the general public and the press to disregard the rumour in its entirety.”
