The Edo State Government has given the governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, 48 hours to substantiate the looting and vandalization allegations, that he levelled against the government.
In a statement on Friday by the Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie, the government also challenged Okpebholo to provide the names of banks from which the government has taken any loans in the last three months according to his allegations or any other evidence to validate his claims.
He said, “The Edo State Government is giving a 48-hour ultimatum to Senator Monday Okpebholo to provide verifiable proof to substantiate his claims that government officials are looting and vandalising assets in the state.
“We are a very serious government and there is no room for such spurious and unfounded allegations which is why we are demanding that Okpebholo and his handlers should within the next 48 hours provide credible and verifiable proof to substantiate their claims.
