The Edo State Government has advised associates of Sen. Monday Okpebholo to wait until November 12 to begin governance instead of making spurious allegations and claims aimed to create the impression that there were two governors in Edo State.
In a statement, Special Adviser to the Governor on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie, described recent statements by a so-called special assistant to the Governor-elect as spurious as it was not only incoherent and riddled with fake news but also contained unfounded conjectures targeted at undermining government.
He said: “A self-styled special assistant who nobody knows issued a statement to create the impression that there were two governors in Edo State. Assuming he is really speaking for the Governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, the immodesty is most reprehensible. He made wild allegations, which he cannot substantiate because they are barefaced lies.
“It is quite understandable that these elements are angling for jobs, but there must be some sort of clear-headedness and not this resort to outlandish and amateurish mudsling.”
“The next administration begins on November 12, 2024, and actors representing the incoming administration should wait for this date to come before they begin to govern as there cannot be two governors of Edo State at the same time,” he added.
