Governor Okpebholo Initiates Probe into Obaseki’s Administration: Key Details

Investigative Panel Launched by Governor Okpebholo to Scrutinize Obaseki’s Governance

Governor Sunny Okpebholo of Edo State has reportedly established a panel to investigate the administration of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.

The panel, composed of legal, financial, and administrative experts, is tasked with examining allegations of mismanagement, corruption, and irregularities during Obaseki’s tenure.

The investigation will focus on key sectors, including infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public procurement, amid claims of inflated contracts, abandoned projects, and unaccounted-for funds.

The panel is expected to scrutinize financial records and engage stakeholders to ensure transparency in its findings.

Governor Okpebholo emphasized that the probe is not a witch-hunt but a commitment to accountability and restoring public trust in governance.

He assured citizens that any recovered funds would be redirected toward development projects aimed at improving the state’s economic and social well-being.

Obaseki’s camp has yet to officially respond, though supporters have described the move as politically motivated.

This investigation marks the continuation of political tension in Edo State and could have broader implications for governance and accountability in the region.
