The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed outrage over the alleged sacking of civil servants in the state by Governor Monday Okpebholo. The party’s caretaker spokesman, Chris Nehikhare, described the development as condemnable and unacceptable, stating that it has thrown many families into uncertainty and hardship.
Nehikhare alleged that the governor’s action is a direct assault on Edo workers and the people of the state, and a troubling sign of what may lie ahead under the new administration. He questioned the governor’s decision to sack workers barely 24 hours after his inauguration, describing it as callous, reckless, and unjust.
However, the Edo State government has denied the allegations, stating that no civil servants were sacked. According to the Chief Press Secretary of the governor, Fred Itua, those asked to go were political appointees of the last administration in the state. Itua described the PDP’s allegations as ignorant and misinformed, stating that the governor’s actions are in line with the rule of law.
The controversy has sparked a heated debate in the state, with many residents expressing concern over the potential impact of the governor’s actions on the state’s economy and workforce. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the governor’s policies will affect the people of Edo State.
