Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has described the recent increment of workers minimum wage to N70,000 as a Greek gift, incapable of swaying the electorate.
•His sins will be visited on PDP candidate —Ohonbamu•Says they’re used to subversive politics
In a statement by his Media Office, in Abuja, yesterday, Okpebholo said that President Bola Tinubu had last year approved N5 billion for each state and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja to enable them procure food items for distribution to the poor in their respective states and pay civil servants certain amount for six months.
“Obaseki should explain to Edo civil servants and Edo people what he did with the N5 billion. Nobody in Edo State has gotten any palliatives or cash transfers from the Edo State Government. What has Obaseki spent the money on? Speaking in like manner, Okpebholo’s Spokesperson, Mr. Paul Ohombamu, said that the alleged sins of Governor Obaseki against Edo people would be visited on the Governorship Candidate of the PDP, Dr Asue Ighodalo in the election.“He said “There is punishment for the governor who has not done well and that punishment is like every action goes with repercussions and it must go down to the third and fourth generation, the third generation will be the PDP candidate.
In a statement, The Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, said it was regrettable that the APC would find the commissioning of the new Labour House and the construction of Temboga road as distasteful.
