Sacking Of Edo State Commissioner of Health is Admittance of Failure by Gov. Obaseki, —APC
By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City .
The Edo state Chapter of the All Progressive Congress APC, has condemned the Edo State Government following the sack of Dr. Samuel Alli, Commissioner for Health in the state.
The party in a release signed by the Director of Publicity, APC campaign council, Orobosa Omo- Ojo said the sack 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.
Omo- Ojo stated that 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.
Adding that, ” 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.”
According to him, 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, Omo-Ojo said 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.
He advised other commissioners who have also become spectators in their ministries, 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.
