The Joint Transition Committee session between the team set up by the outgoing Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration and Governor-elect, Sen. Monday Okpebholo has suffered a setback.
The meeting was earlier scheduled to hold at the John Odigie Oyegun Public Service Academy (JOOPSA) in Benin City on Monday but was moved to Tuesday.
At 8:00 am on Tuesday, 22nd October 2024, members of the Obaseki-led State Government team started arriving at the venue for the meeting alongside the Committee Chairman, Secretary to Edo State Government, Mr. Joseph Eboigbe.
The government team and journalists waited patiently for the arrival of members of the APC’s transition committee team, who never showed up even after 1:00 pm when they left the venue.
The transition team was set up to ensure a smooth transition and handover to a new government on November 12, 2024.
