 Gov Okpebholo lavished over N30bn left by Obaseki in 14 days – PDP alleges


Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has accused the Governor Monday Okpebholo-led government of squandering over N30 billion left in the state’s coffer by the immediate past government of Godwin Obaseki, two weeks after he was sworn-in as governor.


The caretaker committee chairman of the party in the State Dr Anthony Aziegbemi made the allegation at a press conference titled, “State of the Nation Address”.


Aziegbemi alleged that the money was spent by the governor to compensate “godfathers” who worked for him during the September 21, 2024, governorship election


The PDP caretaker committee chairman, who accused the APC-led government of not paying the state’s civil and public workers the November monthly salary, noted that the development was contrary to the record set by the former PDP-led government under the Governor Godwin Obaseki where the state’s workers received monthly salary on or before 26th of every month.


He also alleged that the APC-led government in the state had within two weeks in office procured over N5 billion worth of vehicles without a proper procurement process.


Aziegbemi, who further alleged that Governor Monday Okpebholo’s government was desperately looking for ways to pass entries for over N2 billion as inauguration costs, opined that the Edo State Procurement Act was at risk.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
