The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has launched a scathing attack on Governor Monday Okpebholo, accusing him of gross inaction amid the ongoing flood crisis that has displaced thousands across the state.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by Chris Osa Nehikhare, the Publicity Secretary of the Edo PDP Caretaker Committee, the party described Governor Okpebholo’s response to the worsening environmental emergency as “shameful buck passing” and “childish dereliction of duty.”
The PDP said that after nearly nine months in office, the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration should take full responsibility for the well-being of Edo residents, rather than blaming its predecessor, former Governor Godwin Obaseki.
