Dan Orbih's N800m Scandal: Nehikhare Face Your Accusers, Leave EDSG Out Of It by frayozzz: 3:50pm On Mar 10, 2018
The Edo State Government is shocked at the unwarranted attack on it by the Edo State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over a publication, in which the writers claimed that N800 million received by the chairman of Edo PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, to wage media war in the state was diverted.

The Edo State government's media team has always signed off on any article or communication material emanating from the state. We have no reason to hide under any mask when we issue press statements.

We wish to state that the said article that Chris Nehikhare ascribed to the Edo State government did not emanate from us. Nehikhare and his co travellers are just boxing shadows.

Edo PDP should check elsewhere for who their accusers are and leave Edo State Government out of their predicament as the state government has better things to do with its precious time.

However, a second look at the said article and a scientific perusal of the intentions of the writers suggest some infighting within the Edo PDP. If the brewing crisis is over fears of the possible diversion of N800million media war receipt by Dan Orbih, then the fears are founded as the Edo PDP has a long and sustained history of diverting money. Are we suddenly on another planet? Have we not heard and read tales of billions of naira diverted by members of the Edo PDP?

Perhaps, worried that the party is a type cast for misappropriation of funds, the lesser devils in the opposition party may have feared that the said N800 million media budget would go into private investments, hence raised the alarm.

Evil haunts the doers and the wicked runs when no man pursues. Nehikhare, face your shadow and deal with it. Leave Edo State Government out of your internal issues.
