Why Obaseki should be investigated, by APC
The party also said the planned approval to PRIMUS BANK should be suspended, pending the outcome of the investigation.
Mayaki said: “Upon his emergence as governor, he installed a puppet in the person of one Ike Chioke as the head of the firm while, from behind the scenes, he continued to pull the strings. There have been previous alarms raised as to the nature of the relationship between the Edo State Government and Afrinvest Limited since Obaseki emerged as governor.
Mayaki said the petitioners alleged that Obaseki has used his influence to shore up his personal firm, Afrinvest, and to fund his dream of owning a bank.He added: “In an instance cited in the petition, it was mentioned that upon his assumption, Obaseki unilaterally increased the security votes to 7.5 billion naira annually.
“As a result, kidnapping, cult killings, and other crimes have been on the rise in Edo State since 2016. In another instance the petitioners aleged that Obaseki, in violation of the government’s rules on contracts awarding and the elimination of nepotism, awarded huge amounts as consultancy deal to his firm.
