Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has accused the immediate past administration of Godwin Obaseki of failing to distribute school items donated by President Bola Tinubu for students.
Okpebholo alleged that his predecessor refused to share the books because the President’s face was printed on them.
The Governor made this known on Monday, when he supervised the distribution of notebooks, textbooks, and other instructional materials in Benin City.
Okpebholo ordered the distribution of the books across 18 local government areas of the state.
He described the act of hoarding the books as an act of wickedness.
The Governor said: “These books you see here were donated by the President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu for use by Edo children, but the immediate past administration did not distribute them to our children because the President’s face is printed on the books.
“I want to thank the President for his kind gesture, and for me, the action of the former administration is an act of wickedness.
“This warehouse is filled with books donated by the President of Nigeria, but because of the wickedness, the then governor prevented the books from being distributed to the children. Today, we are here to distribute the books to our children.
“The former governor refused Edo children the use of these books provided by the President, but he could not provide seats for the children to sit comfortably while learning. The action of the former governor is an act of wickedness of the highest order.
“Keeping these books away from our children is wickedness, and his actions were wrong. He said he has developed the education system using Edobest, but what we see here today is not best for our children.”
