Obaseki denies Okpebholo’s claims around e-governance platform

A war of words has erupted between the immediate past Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, and his successor, Monday Okpebholo, over the shutdown of the state’s e-governance platform.

Okpebholo had ordered an immediate review of the platform, citing concerns that it was being operated by unknown non-state actors.

However, Obaseki has berated Okpebholo for shutting down the platform, describing his excuses as “shameful and regressive”.
