APC Has Not Invited Me To Okpebholo’s Inauguration – Obaseki

The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has frowned at the exclusion of the government’s input from the All Progressives Congress (APC) plans in the inauguration of Monday Okpebholo.

News360 Info reports that Obaseki, who became governor in 2016, will hand over to Okpebholo on November 12, 2024.

Okpebholo defeated Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the September 21 governorship election.

Speaking on Friday while swearing in the caretaker committee of the PDP in the state, Obaseki said the APC has not invited him to the inauguration.

Obaseki described the APC’s action as lawless, adding that the state government is supposed to be in charge of the programme.

He said, “Somebody has to be sworn in. Sworn into a government that exists. You just don’t come from nowhere and start a government. There is already a government. There is a way things are done.

The government of Edo state is inaugurating a new governor on Tuesday. But what you are seeing now… all the posters. The government of Edo state is not involved.

So, it is crazy when people just behave the way they are behaving as if there are no laws in the country. I just sit down sometimes and wonder.

Are we okay as a country? We are guided by the constitution. We are guided by laws and precedents and procedures.

So, they are doing inauguration, I as a governor don’t know. Not even been invited. So, it is like they are starting a brand new state and government.
