“A university in this state received N47 million under the administration of Obaseki, while paid the N51 million consultant.

“This was not good enough. They wanted to continue with this act, but God helped us to push them out.”

“Edo was tired of transactional people and thieves, but now we will examine their records.

“I will take two years on eight years and Edo People will see the difference. We will have an investigation commission to examine the books and relationships of the previous administration.”
