The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the Governor of Edo State, Monday Okpebholo, against taking credit for the construction of Temboga Road and other projects initiated and completed during the administration of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.

In a statement, the Publicity Secretary of the Edo PDP Caretaker Committee, Chris Nehikhare, criticized Okpebholo’s claims that his government was launching the construction of the 7.5km Temboga Road, among other projects.

Nehikhare described these claims as deceptive and misleading, pointing out that the road had already been completed by the Obaseki-led administration.

The PDP spokesperson further urged the governor-select to refrain from distorting the achievements of the Obaseki government.

Nehikhare called on Okpebholo to focus on fulfilling his campaign promises by initiating new projects that align with his administration’s vision, if any, for the state, instead of trying to claim credit for work already done.

He said, “It is unfortunate that Senator Monday Okpebholo, the governor-select and his administration are kicking off on a very bad footing and have resorted to deceiving the people of Edo State with false claims of initiating projects that have already been completed by the government of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.

“One of such projects is the 7.5km Temboga Road which was initiated and constructed by the Godwin Obaseki-led government. This is utterly preposterous and condemnable and we urge the governor-select and his administration to desist from such ignoble acts forthwith.

“Edo people deserve better than disingenuity and deceit. Rather than engaging in these mendacious antics to rewrite the performance records of Governor Obaseki’s administration, we call on Senator Okpebholo to concentrate on delivering his campaign promises to Edo people initiating and executing his own projects that align with his administration’s vision for Edo State, if really they have any plans or developmental agenda for the State.”
