Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has denied claims that he shut down the Government House and planned to go on terminal leave before the end of his tenure on November 12, 2024. In a statement from his media adviser, Crusoe Osagie, the governor called the rumors false and reassured that the government remains fully operational.
Obaseki's recent activities, including presiding over an Executive Council meeting and attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the Jesuit University in Ewatto, Esan South East, were highlighted to dismiss these claims as misinformation intended to undermine his administration.
