Edo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the state Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare, engaged in a heated dispute over allegations of corruption within the state government.

But the war of words escalated ahead of the 2024 polls, with the APC calling for a thorough investigation into the alleged corrupt practices and the commissioner dismissing the claims as baseless and politically motivated.

According to Tenebe, the much-celebrated paperless operation in government was a ploy by Governor Godwin Obaseki to delete certain critical data from the server in case they lost the forthcoming election. “Ugo has been allegedly instructed to delete the server containing sensitive documents when the PDP loses the election on September 21, 2024. We hereby warn the governor and the head of e-governance not to delete the approvals of contracts on e-gov.”

But Nehikhare dismissed the claims as baseless and politically motivated, noting that the APC and its leadership do not know how government works.
