Fred Itua,Chief Press Secretary to the Edo State Governor,in a release has described statement issued by the factional chapter of the PDP in Edo as a joke taken too far.
The CPS said PDP is yet to recover from the crushing defeat it suffered during the 21st September governorship election in Edo State.
The statement read;
“Governor Monday Okpebholo, since his inauguration on Tuesday, has since hit the ground running and trying to fix the mess created by the immediate-past MoU governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki.
“For the records, the statement released on Wednesday by the Governor of Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo, did not sack any civil servants. Besides, no Governor sacks civil servants through a media pronouncement.
“Those asked to go were appointees of the last administration in the State. The factional PDP in Edo State is ignorant, and its members need to be gainfully engaged.
“Anyone in the State’s civil service that is an appointee has nothing to fear. But if you are a product of the last MoU government and appointed by Obaseki, the rule of law must stand”.
