Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has advised Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, against launching any probe into the administration of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki, urging him instead to prioritize the development of the state.
Wike gave the advice during his visit to Benin City, as captured in a statement issued on Monday by his spokesperson, Mr. Lere Olayinka.
While acknowledging his own personal grievances with Obaseki, the former Rivers State Governor said probing the past would yield little benefit and distract the new administration from delivering meaningful governance to the people of Edo.
“If there is someone who would have encouraged Okpebholo to probe and prosecute Obaseki, that person should be me,” Wike admitted.
