The incoming Governor Of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has raised the alarm that Governor Godwin Obaseki has been missing in Benin, the state capital since last Friday with his whereabouts unknown.<\/p>\n
Governor Obaseki had alleged that the Governor-Elect has not invited him for the Tuesday\u2019s inauguration of the incoming All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State.<\/p>\n
Okpebholo however in a statement by his media aide, Godspower Inegbe in Abuja, raised the alarm regarding the whereabouts of Obaseki, alleged to have fled Benin City on Friday in an unmarked bus.<\/p>\n
Mr Okpebholo disclosed that Governor Obaseki chased out everyone from the Government House on Friday before escaping to a yet-to-be known location more than 72 hours before his official departure from office.<\/p>\n
While picking holes on the allegations of non-extension of invitation to inauguration, Okpebholo, noted that since he won the election, Obaseki has employed every means to frustrate a peaceful transfer of power.<\/p>\n
The Governor-elect accused Obaseki of not inviting him for a meeting or a tour of the Government House.<\/p>\n
Dismissing Obaseki\u2019s claim that the Governor-Elect had a stolen mandate, the incoming Governor said \u201cObaseki needs a serious and urgent attention.<\/p>\n
The Governor-Elect said he won the elections convincingly and added that the tribunal will soon validate his claims.<\/p>\n
