Obaseki Slams Okpebholo’s ‘Clueless’ Government, Denounces False Allegations and Propaganda

Former Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has said the lies and blackmail of Governor Monday Okpebholo’s ‘clueless’ government cannot blemish his legacies, stressing that Okpebholo can’t aid, reward thuggery, cultism, yet claim to fight same.

In a statement on Wednesday, Media Adviser to Obaseki, Crusoe Osagie, has said no amount of lies, and propaganda by the newly sworn-in governor, and his media hirelings can blemish the legacies of the former governor.

Osagie noted that Obaseki, in eight years, successfully transformed the fortunes of the people and placed the State on the path of accelerated growth and prosperity.

He lambasted the Okpebholo-led administration for its continuous resort to baseless allegations, falsehoods, and lies to discredit and tarnish the image of the former governor, describing the efforts as diversionary tactics to deflect attention from their cluelessness and lack of plans for the State’s development.

He noted that despite the incumbent government’s futile attempts to malign and denigrate Obaseki, his legacies, achievements, and progressive policies remain indelible and undeniable, noting that the people of Edo State are discerning and will not be fooled by their petty theatrics.

Osagie said, “The vacuity and cluelessness of the Monday Okpebholo-led government was laid bare in its most recent polemic, where it fruitlessly sought to denigrate the immediate past governor of the State, whose illustrious legacy of service to Edo State transformed the fortunes of the people and placed the State on the path of progress and prosperity.

“In the scribbling riddled with falsehoods, lies, and propaganda, the government grandstanded about banning thugs when it is a well-known fact that thugs and thuggery are part and parcel of their administration.

“In fact, one of the most dreaded and notorious thugs in the State, popularly known as Ebo Stone, holds two key positions in the government. He currently serves as State Coordinator of the Public Safety Response Team and Chairman of the Government Vehicle Recovery Team. How else does a government celebrate and glorify thuggery?
