The immediate past Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki has said the administrative panel of inquiry report that allegedly indicted him and others is another of Okpebholo’s frantic efforts to justify his unconstitutional onslaught on the elected leadership of the third tier of government in the state.

DAILY POST reports that Governor Monday Okpebholo had on December 18, 2024, set up an Administrative Panel of Enquiry to investigate the financial accounts of the impeached 18 Local Government Chairmen in Edo State between September 4, 2023 and November 2024.

The chairman of the panel, Solomon Imohiosen, who submitted the report to Governor Okpebholo at the weekend indicted the immediate past Governor, Godwin Obaseki, some local government chairmen and leaders of Peoples Democratic Party in the state of either allegedly mismanaging or diverting to private accounts the sum of N95,080,676,687.86 being the amount received from the Joint Allocation Account Committee, JAAC, by the 18 Local Government Area Chairmen for the period under review.

Following the report, Governor Okpebholo vowed to take the indicted personalities to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for prosecution.
