Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki
The Edo State Government has written to the Governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, to begin the formation of his transition team, which is expected to interface with the transition team of the outgoing administration.
In a letter dated October 10, 2024, the Secretary to the State Government, Joseph Eboigbe, said setting up the team would allow both parties to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that would ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.
Recall that in July 2024, the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, inaugurated a 20-member transition committee chaired by Joseph Eboigbe to pilot the smooth transition of power and knowledge to the next administration.
The letter reads, “I hope this message finds you in great spirits. As we prepare for the transition of power, we believe it is crucial to establish a smooth and effective collaboration between your team and the current administration.
“To facilitate this process, we invite you and your party, the All Progressives Congress, to initiate the formation of your transition team at your earliest convenience.
“Establishing this team will allow us to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that will ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.”
It added, “We are committed to providing you with the necessary support and resources to make this transition as effective and efficient as possible. Consequently, October 14, 2024, is proposed for the inaugural meeting for members of both transition committees.”
“We look forward to your prompt response and to working closely with you and your team in the coming weeks. Together, we can set the foundation for a successful administration that meets the expectations of our constituents. Thank you for your attention,” he added.
