The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned Governor Monday Okpebholo against taking credit for the construction of Temboga Road.
Naija News reports that the PDP also warned the Governor against taking credit for other projects initiated and completed during the tenure of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.
This was made known in a statement on Sunday by the Publicity Secretary of the Edo PDP Caretaker Committee, Chris Nehikhare.
The PDP said the claims by Okpebholo that his government was flagging off construction of the 7.5km Temboga Road, among others in the State were disingenuous and misleading as the road has already been constructed by the immediate past government of Godwin Obaseki.
Nehikhare further charged the governor to desist from his mendacious antics of rewriting the story of the performance of the Obaseki-led government by claiming credit for his projects.
He asked Okpebholo to focus on delivering his campaign promises, if any, by initiating projects that reflect his administration’s vision, if any, for the State.
He said, “It is unfortunate that Senator Monday Okpebholo, the governor-select and his administration are kicking off on a very bad footing and have resorted to deceiving the people of Edo State with false claims of initiating projects that have already been completed by the government of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.
“One of such projects is the 7.5km Temboga Road which was initiated and constructed by the Godwin Obaseki-led government. This is utterly preposterous and condemnable and we urge the governor-select and his administration to desist from such ignoble acts forthwith.
“Edo people deserve better than disingenuity and deceit. Rather than engaging in these mendacious antics to rewrite the performance records of Governor Obaseki’s administration, we call on Senator Okpebholo to concentrate on delivering his campaign promises to Edo people initiating and executing his own projects that align with his administration’s vision for Edo State, if really they have any plans or developmental agenda for the State.”

But if you're looking to cool off and try something a little different, stand-up paddleboarding (or SUP) is a solid option.</p><p><span></span>It's the kind of activity you'd usually associate with a weekend at the cottage or a quiet lake up north, but luckily, you don't actually have to leave the city to catch a wave. There are a few spots right here in Montreal where you can rent a board by the hour without spending a ton, with multiple local spots charging less than $30 an hour.</p><p>So, whether you're brand new to SUP or just want to float around for a while, here are four of the cheapest places to rent a paddleboard in and around the city.</p><h3>Parc Jean-Drapeau (KSF)</h3><br/><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLdFvPpxsNi/?hl=en" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">
