Edo PDP Condemns Sacking Of HOSThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State have criticised the decision of Governor Adams Oshiomhole to remove Jerry Obazele as the Head of Service over allegations of fraudulent practices in the Pensions Board.

State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chris Nehikhare on Wednesday, made the statement while addressing reporters at the party secretariat in Benin City, the state’s capital.

Mr Nehikhare said that Governor Oshiomhole should have taken full responsibility for the shortcomings faced by his administration rather than passing the buck.

Governor Oshiomhole scrapped the Edo State Pensions Board following the uncovering of fraudulent activities concerning the payment of pensions and gratuities.

The Governor, in a statement, directed members of the Pensions Board to report to the State Civil Service Commission for proper investigation and disciplinary action in accordance with the Civil Service Rules.

“Members of the Pensions Board are advised to steer clear of their offices until investigations are concluded” the statement read.

Governor Oshiomhole also sent the Edo State Head of Service, Mr Obazele and Permanent Secretary, Information and Communications Technology Agency, Mr Dan Aigbavboa on retirement.
