Edo 2020: Obaseki's N1.5bn loan bid for vote-buying, APC alleges

By Ozioruva Aliu – Benin City

However, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Stewart Efe, pooh-poohed the allegation, describing it as a campaign of calumny by the APC, he said was aware that it would lose the September election. “This latest move and indication of the Governor’s pathological desperation was reliably communicated to us by a source in his illegal Assembly of seven members out of the 24 elected to represent the people of Edo State.“This illegal Assembly of seven members, convening in aberrant and unlawful meetings dictated by Governor Godwin Obaseki in the Edo State Government House after leading thugs to destroy and desecrate the legislative chambers, quietly received and passed a request for a loan of 1.

Countering, Efe told Vanguard on phone: “This is a campaign of calumny, it is not true, the story is to hoodwink the people and it is the handiwork of mischief makers who know they will lose in the election.
