Edo Govt Fires Back At PDP Over Allegations Against Okpebholo, Idahosa
The Edo State government, through Chief Press Secretary Fred Itua, strongly refuted claims by the PDP that the state is rudderless and failing. Itua asserted that Governor Okpebholo and his Deputy are actively governing, workers' welfare is prioritized with a high minimum wage, and significant progress is being made in infrastructure, healthcare, and security. The government blamed past PDP administration failures for issues in education and healthcare, highlighting ongoing projects like road rehabilitation and hospital upgrades. Itua dismissed PDP's criticisms as desperate attempts by a failing party and urged the public to disregard their falsehoods. The government maintains it is strategically inclusive and focused on effective service delivery.
