The Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused Governor Monday Okpebholo’s administration of causing setbacks in various sectors.

Speaking at a press conference, the party’s Caretaker Committee Chairman, Tony Aziegbemi, claimed that the state had suffered declines in education, healthcare, security, infrastructure, and the economy.

“From education, where Edo has taken a notorious back seat, to the health sector, where even the most basic medical consumables are unavailable, to security, the economy, infrastructure, power, and technology, among others, the list is endless,” Aziegbemi said.
