As the Governor Godwin Obaseki administration approaches its terminal date, the Edo State Government has reached out to the governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, proposing the formation of his transition team which would interface with the transition team of the outgoing government.

In a letter dated October 10, 2024, Secretary to the State Government, Joseph Eboigbe, stated that establishing the team would allow both parties to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that would ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.

Recall that in July 2024, Governor Obaseki had inaugurated a 20-member transition committee chaired by Eboigbe, to pilot the smooth transition of power and knowledge to the next administration.

The letter reads: “I hope this message finds you in great spirits. As we prepare for the transition of power, we believe it is crucial to establish a smooth and effective collaboration between your team and our current administration.

“To facilitate this process, we invite you and your party, the All-Progressives Congress (APC) to initiate the formation of your transition team at your earliest convenience.

“Establishing this team will allow us to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that will ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.

“We are committed to providing you with the necessary support and resources to make this transition as effective and efficient as possible. Consequently, 14th October 2024 is proposed for the inaugural meeting for members of both Transition Committees.

“We look forward to your prompt response and to working closely with you and your team in the coming weeks. Together, we can set the foundation for a successful administration that meets the expectations of our constituents. Thank you for your attention”.

The letter, which was received by an administrative secretary at the APC secretariat, Joy Oyere, was yet to be responded to as of press time.
