Edo Govt. writes APC, Governor-elect Okpebholo, requests transition team formation

This team will collaborate with the outgoing administration’s transition team to ensure a seamless transfer of power.

In a letter dated Oct. 10, 2024, Secretary to the State Government, Joseph Eboigbe, stated that forming the team would facilitate meaningful discussions and vital information sharing between both parties.

He said the move followed Gov. Godwin Obaseki’s inauguration of a 20-member transition committee in July, chaired by Eboigbe, to oversee the smooth transition of power and knowledge.

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 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.

“We are committed to providing you with the necessary support and resources to make this transition as effective and efficient as possible.

“Consequently, 14 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.’”(NAN)
