The Edo State Government has given Senator Monday Okpebholo 48 hours ultimatum to substantiate the alleged looting and vandalisation leveled against the government.

The ultimatum is contained in a statement signed by Crusoe Osagie, Special Adviser to the Edo State Governor on Media Projects. He challenged Okpebholo to provide the names of banks from which the government has taken any loans in the last three months, as alleged in the governor-elect’s petition.

Osagie said, “The Edo State Government is giving a 48-hour ultimatum to Senator Monday Okpebholo to provide verifiable proof to substantiate his claims that government officials are looting and vandalising assets in the State.

“We are a very serious government and there is no room for such spurious and unfounded allegations which is why we are demanding that Okpebholo and his handlers should within the next 48 hours provide credible and verifiable proof to substantiate their claims.

” Okpehbolo must understand that the business of governance in Edo State is very serious, and the office of Governor is not for palace jesters.

“It is on this ground that we demand that he, within the next 48 hours, provide empirical evidence to substantiate his spurious looting allegations against the state government, otherwise, he must tender an unreserved apology to the State Government.”
