The All Progressives Congress (APC) has slammed the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, over the sack of Dr Samuel Alli as the State Commissioner for Health.
Naija News reports that the Director of Publicity Committee, Edo APC Governorship Campaign Council, Orobosa Omo-Ojo, in a statement made available to newsmen in Benin City, described the sacking of the commissioner as an admittance of the Obaseki-led administration’s failure.
Omo-Ojo noted that the sack of Alli was not surprising, alleging he had been reduced to a mere supervisor in the State Ministry of Health.
The APC chieftain asked other commissioners to resign and join forces with their party to build a prosperous state.
The statement read, “The sacking of Dr Samuel Alli as Commissioner for Health did not come to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a surprise, but we frown at the scapegoating of Dr Alli who Governor Godwin Obaseki had reduced to a mere supervisor in the State Ministry of Health.
“The fate of Dr Alli like other commissioners serving in his administration, is as a result of Obaseki’s preference for use of consultants who he has leased Edo to, apparently to drain the state of resources.
“The government statement, claiming that Governor Obaseki is resolute on his finishing strong objective and that he will remove any obstacles that may hinder optimal service delivery to the people in the remaining four months of his administration, is deceitful and deceptive.
“Truth is, it’s late for Obaseki and the PDP to save themselves from the shaming that awaits them as a result of their complete failure to attend to the basic needs of Edo people, including health care, education, food security, infrastructure, and their general well-being.
“There is no magic that Obaseki can use to complete the several uncompleted projects that now look like abandoned projects.
“Rather than searching for more scapegoats, the Edo APC Governorship Campaign Council is calling on Governor Obaseki to step aside for a transitional government that will stop the wobbling that Edo State has become under his stewardship.
“For other commissioners who have also become spectators in their ministries, the APC Campaign Council is by this message, calling on them to resign and join forces with other patriotic groups to retrieve the state from Obaseki and his group of consultants that are determined to keep the state as their personal enterprise through the candidacy of Asue Ighodalo.”
