Edo: Gov Okpebholo Unveils 14-Man Panel To Probe Obaseki by BleedingPen(op): 8:15am On Nov 24, 2024
The Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has approved the constitution of a 14-man State Assets Verification Committee to probe the administration of Godwin Obaseki.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Fred Itua on Sunday, he said Governor Okpebholo will inaugurate the Committee on Tuesday, the 26th of November, 2024, in Government House, Benin City.

Members of the Committee include: Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe – Chairman, Anslem Ojezua – Deputy Chairman, Prince Kassim Afegbua – Member, Hon. Patrick Ikhariale – Member, Mr. Taiwo Akerele – Member, Hon. Patrick Idiake – Member, and Hon. Rasaq Bello-Osagie – Member.

Others are: Mr. Fredrick Unopah – Member, Frank Osumuede Edebor Esq – Secretary, Mrs. Abdallah Eugenia – Member, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon – Member, Pharm. Kenny Okojie – Member, Mrs. Lyndsey Tes-Sorae – Member, and Hon. Abass Braimoh – Member.


“In furtherance of the Governor’s initiative to set the State on the path of development and accountable leadership, the need to set up a State Assets Verification Committee becomes very imperative.

“Despite repeated calls for a more holistic database of the Assets and Liabilities of the previous administration, the Godwin Obaseki-led Government came up with very scanty and limited Assets and Liabilities of the State.

“In line with the Governor’s campaign promise to ensure probity, accountability and transparency in Government, and to deepen the governance process, a Committee made up of respected sons and daughters from Edo State has to be constituted.

“The committee will be inaugurated at the Festival Hall, Government House, Benin City, on Tuesday, 26th November, 2024, by 1pm prompt,” the statement noted.

We watch with keen interest as the Drama unfolds.
You may also wish to probe Oshiomoles administration as well, after all Govt is a continuum. You should also get ready to be Probed at the end of your tenure. Life na turn by turn

Let the governor not forget that he will also be probed some day. Performance is needed from him not just probing, probing and probing. If the governor finishes probing and underperforms, then he has made himself a joke

Why do I see Oshiomhole’s hands and vendetta on this probe. Instead of the Governor to kick of sensible projects to ameliorate the sufferings of the people, he’s busy chasing shadows

It's only a Nigerian girl, you will see preparing for marriage and only has #5k in her account.

After small misunderstanding, she will ask you a question like.....

It takes findings to probe efficiently. What has the new administration discovered in less than a month?

The panel suppose reach 500 members if not I don't see any reasonable achievements coming out of it..

Even the chairman of the party advised him not to because he knows stealing is a tradition in public office in Nigeria..

And since the governor has declined the advice, when he leaves office after his own term expires, he should go to Oba Palace and swear he never stole from office..

I wish all nairalanders a fruitful week

You were selected by INEC to work for Edo people. I don't know why black people are this stupid and useless. This man like others will spend the whole of four years probing and blaming his predecessor. What is the work of EFCC, police & ICPC? People supporting this move are naive. Obaseki should be probed not by the governor who has no arsenal to persecute according law.
The same allocation that Obaseki collected is still coming to the state, it has not been reduced or stop...

*MONDAY OKPEBHOLO: THE INEC 'BOUTIQUE' GOVERNOR KICKS OFF*

When some of us raised alarm about how hollow and empty Monday Okpebholo always sounded during the campaigns, some people felt it was just criticism. But barely a week after he was sworn in based on a brazenly rigged election, the disaster that INEC foisted on Edo State as Governor has started unravelling.

In what could be described as the most embarrassing start to any administration in the history of Nigeria (both military and civilian) Gov. Okpebholo has become the butt of jokes on social media with a video of him commissioning a boutique going viral on social media. The boutique is said to belong to Kelly Okungbowa aka Ebo Stone, a senior leader of the Lions and Tigers, the APC rigging machine that used violence, intimidation and financial inducement to facilitate his emergence as governor.

It is also troubling that this is coming after the announcement of two of his godfather Oshiomhole's nominees – Oshiomhole’s London-based first son Cyril Oshiomhole as Commissioner for health and hardline Oshiomhole loyalist Gani Audu as Chief of Staff, in a move that clearly shows that Okpebholo's emergence as Governor is essentially Oshiomhole's Third Term Agenda by proxy. He could barely wait to start mortgaging the state to please his benefactors hence the sense of urgency to immediately appoint Oshiomhole's son as Commissioner.

This faulty start to governance is a signpost to evil that awaits our dear State, the evil that Edo people laboured hard to avoid by rejecting them on the ballot but APC and INEC connived to commit the biggest electoral heist of foisting a clueless stooge on Edo People.


Edo State is an enlightened state with progressive and forward thinking people. We have a proud history that has always stood up to oppression dating back to the pre-colonial era. Our forefathers did not fight to earn such a reputation only for us to be governed by puppets and stooges.

It is shameful enough that the whole world watched our Governor struggle to recite his own oath of office and as if that wasn't enough he proceeds to start off his administration by commissioning a Boutique owned by a known thug. To be fair, Okpebholo did promise to “provide insecurity” to Edo residents while he was campaigning.

In which universe is boutique a fundamental objective and directive principle of state policy to warrant commissioning by a Governor with fanfare and the official paraphernalia of the state? How have we rolled back the clock to a time where political leaders decide that only the children who spring from their loins are good enough to rule the rest of us?

With each misstep, Edo people have their eyes on the judiciary to do the needful and uphold the People's mandate because Edo does not deserve this kind of mediocrity and this is definitely not what we voted for.

Though I am not holding brief for Obaseki but what I know is that, Obaseki ran one of the most transparent government ever in Edo state. He had everything documented including all government assets.
By the time they invite Obaseki, they will be shocked with the quantum of evidences he will produce.
Instead of Okpebholo who never won Election in Edo state to focus on trying to win the hearts of Edo people, he is busy fighting the fight of Oshiomhole.
