Crusoe Osagie, media adviser to Godwin Obaseki, ex-governor of Edo, has criticised Monday Okpebholo, governor of the state, for allegedly mismanaging the state-owned Edo Broadcasting Service (EBS).
byCrusoe Osagie, media adviser to Godwin Obaseki, former governor of Edo, has criticised Monday Okpebholo, the incumbent governor, for procuring two generating sets for the EIn a statement on Tuesday, Osagie accused the governor of attempting to run the state-owned broadcasting outfit aground after the Obaseki administration made it self-sufficient.
He noted that Okpebholo has begun his deceptive “the more you look, the less you see magic with the delivery of two additional 150kVA and 135kVA generators” to the broadcasting station. “It is on record that while Obaseki was in the process of transforming and repositioning the broadcast media house, he grew the media asset to a point where they no longer depended on government revenue or subvention for their functionality and operations; rather, EBS was in fact remitting revenues into the State Government’s treasury on a monthly or quarterly basis. These facts are verifiable.
