The Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has dissolved his cabinet members ahead of the swearing-in of Senator Monday Okpebholo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, as the new Governor of the State.
Naija News reports that Obaseki dissolved the cabinet on Friday, shortly after a valedictory session held at the Government House, Benin City.
The motion for the dissolution of the State Executive Council for 2020-2024 was moved by the Deputy Governor, Godwins Omobayo and was seconded by the Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Osilama Okuofu.
Obaseki’s action comes barely five days to the end of his eight years of two tenures as Governor of Edo state.
Speaking at the valedictory session, Governor Obaseki commended the State Executive Council members for helping him drive his government’s vision of making Edo great again, delivering on all promises made to the people.
He also commended the people of the State for supporting, praying and collaborating with his administration, which led to the successes and achievements recorded by his government across various sectors of the State over the last eight years.
While eulogizing Obaseki, the members of his cabinet commended the Governor’s achievements in education, economy, agriculture, power, infrastructure, among others.
The executive members also commended Obaseki for the opportunity given to them to serve the people of the State in their various capacities.
They also expressed their satisfaction with the impacts of the government’s reforms and projects over the last eight years, improving the lives of the Edo people and bringing growth and development to the people of the State as the State has become a model for other states across the nation.
The outgoing Commissioners and Heads of Ministries Departments and Agencies, MDAs, also took turns to present awards and gifts to honour the Governor for his sterling leadership in the last few years.
The valedictory session for the outgoing state executive council climaxed with a dinner in honour of the State Governor.
