Edo govt chides APC over false claims, insists Obaseki-led administration employed workers to serve best interest of Edo
… Knocks APC over plot to sack new workers
The Edo State Government has said that employment into the Edo State Public Service since the outset of the Governor Godwin Obaseki-led administration has focused on serving the people.
In a statement, Special Adviser on Media Projects, Crusoe Osagie, knocked the All Progressives Congress (APC) who had through Kassim Afegbua insinuated that the government was overburdening government by employing more workers in recent weeks.
According to him, “We are unfortunately seeing a disturbing trend from the APC even before they assume government position.
“They have started making spurious claims that the state is overburdened by debt and are now threatening that they will sack workers.
“In his recent statement, Kassim Afegbua, a member of the transition committee threatened that they are ready to cut down the number of workers engaged in Edo State because they need more money to themselves. This is evidently a sign of the level of thinking in the APC, where all they care about is what gets into their pocket and not what is best for Edo State.”
He added that the comments about the government employing workers was misguided noting that Government started engaging new workers across various spectrum of governance over 6 years ago, a fact that can be confirmed by civil servants in the State.
“So it is disingenuous to start claiming at this last minute that the government is now just only employing new workers to set traps for the new government.”
