Governor Okpebholo during an interview mentioned that he refused to initiate a personal probe into Obaseki’s administration.
The governor, however, said the system would eventually investigate financial matters and ensure that any misappropriated funds were recovered.
“I am not the one probing them. The system will probe them. I’m telling you, so much money is tied to a different thing. Those monies will come out when the time comes. I’m not going to hide anything,”
He also mentioned that God used people to support and help him defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Asue Ighodalo, during governorship election.
The APC governor said: “God was using people to help me, to support me, to get to where I am today.” “Let me tell you, Edo people spoke. We were hungry for a change. Even in the next 20 years, I will win. When I won my Senate seat, there was a sitting senator. At that time, everything was working against us. There was no water in my place, there was no light, there was no road, there was no money, no fuel. Everything was against us. Compared to the PDP that was favoured. But yet, we won.”
