We’re Transition, Not Inquisitive Committee, Edo Govt Tells APC

The Edo State Government on Tuesday lambasted the 24 -Member APC Transition Committee for being ‘inquisitive’, rather than focus on their mandate.

New Telegraph had earlier reported that the 24-Member APC Committee, led by former Deputy Governor Pius Odubu, boycotted the meeting, due to the government’s failure to provide specific documents for review beforehand.

The Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare said the APC Committee was making inquiries which he said was outside their mandate of transiting to them what the outgoing government has done and that some of their inquiries would be contained on the hand over notes of Governor Godwin Obaseki to the Governor-Elect, Sen. Monday Okpebholo.

Nehikhare said .”We are a transition committee and not an inquisitive committee that they are trying to make themselves look like, the global practice is to present what we have done, where we are and what has not been done.

“They claim we are only showcasing what we have done but these are the same people that said Obaseki did not do anything, we are supposed to transit all that we have done and yet to do to them and some of the other details will be in the hand over notes of the governor

“During our first joint meeting, we did announce how we will do the presentations to them and some other questions they are asking are all embedded in these presentations,” he said.
