Governor Wilson Okpebholo of Edo State has inaugurated a 14-member panel to investigate the administration of his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki. This development comes amidst growing calls for accountability and transparency regarding the management of state resources during Obaseki’s tenure.

The panel, composed of legal, financial, and administrative experts, is tasked with examining the use of public funds, the implementation of state projects, and allegations of mismanagement. Governor Okpebholo stated that the initiative is aimed at promoting good governance and ensuring accountability for all actions taken during the past administration.

During the inauguration ceremony, the governor emphasized the importance of the probe, noting that it would set a standard for accountability and restore public trust in governance. He assured that the investigation would be thorough, fair, and devoid of political bias.

The panel has been given a specific timeframe to submit its findings, which will include recommendations on actions to be taken against any discovered infractions. Public interest in the probe remains high as Edo residents await the outcome of the investigation.

The former administration, led by Godwin Obaseki, has not yet commented on the development, but political observers believe this could lead to significant revelations about the state’s financial and administrative operations over the past eight years.
