‘We’ll give N50m, if you can walk through Benin streets’, APC dares Obaseki

The Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has promised to give the immediate past governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki N50 million, if he could walk freely on the streets of Benin City and receive a rousing welcome from the residents.

An APC chieftain and member of the Edo State Assets Verification Committee, Kassim Afegbua, threw the challenge at a press briefing shortly after the inauguration of the committee by Governor Monday Okpebholo at Government House in Benin City.

“If the opposition is truly serious, they should please invite ex-Governor Godwin Obaseki to come to Edo for a street walk. We are ready to pay him N50 million for that particular exercise and let us see who the Edo people will embrace”, he challenged.
