November 18, (THEWILL) – The Edo State’s chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said the claims by Governor Monday Okpebholo that his government was flagging off construction of the 7.5km Temboga Road, among others in the State, were disingenuous and misleading, as the road has already been constructed by the immediate past government of Godwin Obaseki.
Chris Nehikhare, Publicity Secretary of the Edo PDP Caretaker Committee, who made the clarification in a statement, urged Governor Okpebholo to desist from mendacious antics of rewriting the story of the performance of the Obaseki-led government by claiming credit for his projects.
“It is unfortunate that Senator Monday Okpebholo, the governor-select and his administration are kicking off on a very bad footing and have resorted to deceiving the people of Edo State with false claims of initiating projects that have already been completed by the government of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.
“One of such projects is the 7.5km Temboga Road which was initiated and constructed by the Godwin Obaseki-led government. This is utterly preposterous and condemnable and we urge the governor-select and his administration to desist from such ignoble acts forthwith.
“Edo people deserve better than disingenuity and deceit. Rather than engaging in these mendacious antics to rewrite the performance records of Governor Obaseki’s administration, we call on Senator Okpebholo to concentrate on delivering his campaign promises to Edo people initiating and executing his own projects that align with his administration’s vision for Edo State, if really they have any plans or developmental agenda for the State”, he said.
