Edo Government Writes Okpebholo, APC To Form Transition Team

The Edo State Government has written to the Governor-elect, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his Party, The All Progressives Congress, APC, to initiate the formation of his transition team.
The Letter which was written by the Secretary to the State Government, Joseph Eboigbe, noted that establishing the team will allow Okpebholo’s and Obaseki’s Teams to begin meaningful discussions and share vital information that will ensure a seamless transfer of responsibilities and continuity of governance.
An administrative Secretary at the Secretariat of the Edo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Mr. Joy Oyere, confirmed receiving the letter but added that the Party was yet to respond.
The letter read: “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 our current administration.
“To facilitate this process, we invite you and your party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), 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.”
Eboigbe further noted: “We are committed to providing you with the necessary support and resources to make this transition as effective and efficient as possible. Consequently, 14th October, 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.
