The APC Transition Committee led by a former deputy governor of Edo state, Dr. Pius Odubu has said that the outgoing PDP administration of Governor Godwin Obaseki in Edo state has not presented the necessary documents that will enable a smooth transition process, a situation that has hindered the work of the APC Transition Committee.
In a statement, signed by the Secretary to the APC Transition Committee, Barr. Patrick Ikhariale, the APC Transition Committee also clarified what it described as false claims and untruths put in the public domain.
One of such claims he said was an allegation that the members of the APC transition committee were asking for Sitting Allowances and their request for hard copies was because members of the APC Committee were not tech-savvy. Barr. Ikhariale described the claims as vexatious, underwhelming, insulting, barbaric, and completely misleading and said nothing of such was discussed or raised during and after our plenary.
The APC Transition Committee says they wrote officially, on the 18th of October to the Government Team detailing what to provide, including All Assets and Liabilities, All Edo state assets located outside the state, Detailed report of all Federation Account Allocation Committee and Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) report 2020 till date, detailed report of the Derivation Fund to the state 2020 till date, All maturing legal obligations 2020 till date, Total indebtedness (local and foreign) 2020 till date, Including bonds and treasury bills, all approved contracts by the state government from 2020 till date., amongst other vital documents.
The APC Transition committee secretary said despite the setbacks, the APC Transition Committee has been working assiduously to complete her assignment towards a seamless transition; the better it will be for all concerned.
He called on all well-meaning members of the Public to disregard the rumours and misinformation making the rounds.
