Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state of planning the inauguration of a new administration without consulting the government and inviting him to the event. 

Obaseki’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost in the Edo Governorship election held in September with the APC’s Monday Okpebholo beating Asue Ighodalo – the governor’s favoured candidate.

Days before the inauguration (set for November 12) of a new government, Obaseki claimed the APC was working without the involvement of his administration for the handover.

“We have a process in government, they stole our mandate, yes but we have laws, and there is a way things are done. We are inaugurating a new government in Edo State and the Edo State Government is not involved,” the governor said on Friday in Benin City during the inauguration of the caretaker committee of the PDP in the state on Friday.

“People behave as if there is no law, forgetting that we are guided by constitution and law; there are procedures to handle things. They are doing an inauguration and the governor is not even invited. It is like they are starting a brand new government and a brand new state.”
