A new wave of political hostilities has broken out in Edo State, pitting the current state government against the administration of immediate past Governor Godwin Obaseki over a controversial hotel project.
The conflict centers on a multi-billion naira hotel development initiated during Obaseki’s tenure. The current administration has raised serious allegations, questioning the project’s procurement process, financial transparency, and overall viability. Officials have threatened to review or possibly cancel the contract, citing a need for due diligence and adherence to public procurement laws.
In response, aides to the former governor have defended the project, labeling the current government’s actions as politically motivated and detrimental to state development and investor confidence. The public exchange marks a significant escalation in the ongoing political rivalry within the state.
